Chapter 2: Breeze Gate
An Xiaoyi said goodbye to the elders of the Jiang family, thinking of the neighbors in the village, she couldn't help but be a little reluctant.
"I know you are reluctant to let me go, but I have to go to cultivate immortals, because only by cultivating immortals can I become stronger, and only when I become stronger can I go to a wider world, and I can find my father and grandfather. An Xiaoyi held back the sadness in her heart, with tears in her eyes, raised her head, and walked forward.
After walking for a month, An Xiaoyi came to an ancient city, where the people were well-dressed and the buildings were magnificent, like a rich state, which seemed to be similar to his hometown in his memory.
After another month, An Xiaoyi passed through a river, the river is very wide, dozens of times the small river outside the ancient village of the Jiang family, it is very spectacular, the boats on the river come and go, the people in transition look solemn, as if something big has happened.
In the blink of an eye, it has been three months since he came out of the Jiangjia ancient village, An Xiaoyi came to an abyss canyon, and as far as the eye could see, there were faint fierce beasts walking in the canyon, and there were bursts of roars from time to time, which was very terrifying, but still did not see the shadow of Qingfeng Gate.
"Am I going the wrong way? An Xiaoyi was anxious in her heart and looked solemn. After finding a few farmhouses, inquiring about it, and making sure that the direction was correct, An Xiaoyi's inner anxiety eased slightly.
"After walking for half a month, you will be able to reach Qingfeng Gate. An Xiaoyi's inner worry decreased slightly, his eyes showed expectation, and he looked in the direction where the Qingfeng Gate was.
The Qingfeng Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, are not just one mountain range, from a distance, layered on top of each other, very much like a labyrinth of mountains, thousands of mountains are verdant and mist-shrouded.
Qingfeng Gate, located in the Qingfeng Mountains, Qingfeng Mountain in the middle, is the highest peak of the whole mountain range, above the middle section of the peak, perennial snow, the sea of clouds steaming, fairyland in general, there are three peaks on the north and south sides of Qingfeng Mountain, although it is not as tall and majestic as Qingfeng Mountain, but it is also quite beautiful and precipitous.
Nanfeng Mountain, one of the three peaks on the south side of Qingfeng Mountain.
On this day, outside the mountain gate of Nanfeng Mountain, people come and go, and there is a long queue in front of the mountain gate duty room, there are as many as 100 people.
"I have been here for more than two months, and I have waited until the registration for the registration of the registered disciple assessment once every three months. β
"The registration is still far from passing the assessment! The registered disciple of Qingfeng Gate is not so easy to test, I heard that there is a descendant of the Xiuzhen family, who was recommended by the family, and passed the test three times. β
"Who doesn't recommend it, which one of them is not a prominent family? Recommendation is not used, you have to have strength, this is an immortal gate, it is so easy to get in!"
"That's right! Qingfeng Gate will not do anything to smash its own signboard, I heard that even the children and nephews of the elders of the various mountains must be assessed before they can become registered disciples. β
At the same time that everyone was discussing enthusiastically, a teenager came in the distance, this young man, twelve or thirteen years old, white and clean face, slightly reddened by the sun, looked very tired, when he saw the three big characters of "Qingfeng Gate" on the mountain gate, his spirit was shocked, and his eyes showed excitement and joy.
He is none other than An Xiaoyi.
"It's finally here, three and a half months, and it's finally time to get to Qingfengmen. Father, mother, grandfather, Xiaoyi is going to cultivate immortals, you wait for me, I will definitely find you!" An Xiaoyi sighed very emotionally in his heart, this journey was really too difficult.
An Xiaoyi took a deep breath, calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, lined up at the back of the line, thinking about the scenes he had experienced in the past few years, and unconsciously arrived at the door of the duty room at the mountain gate.
"Who recommended it?" In front of a table at the door of the duty room, a thin young man sat and asked weakly, squinting at An Xiaoyi with arrogance and disdain in his eyes.
"Recommended?oh, this is my topaz token. After An Xiaoyi heard the young man's words, he was stunned for a moment, quickly untied the burden on his back, put it on the table, took out the copper-colored wooden box from it, opened it carefully, held the topaz token in both hands, and held it in front of the young man.
"What is this?" The young man's eyes flashed, and when he saw An Xiaoyi's cautious expression, he got up slightly, stretched out his hand to take the topaz token, up and down, and after carefully looking at the topaz token, he slowly spoke.
"This is a gift from an immortal of Qingfeng Gate to my father, and my father said that with this token, you can worship in Qingfeng Gate. An Xiaoyi thought that this token was the head of the Jiang family, and I heard that the clan elder said that it was obtained for a huge amount of money, presumably for the young clan, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is natural that outsiders don't have to say much about the reason.
"Edit, continue to edit!" After carefully looking at the topaz token back and forth, the young man made sure that he had never seen this kind of token, and he had never heard of the matter of worshipping the Qingfeng Gate with the token, and stared at An Xiaoyi with his already small eyes, and the disdain in his eyes was even stronger.
"Could it be that this token is fake? Impossible, the Jiang family patriarch is not an idle person, how can he be easily deceived?" An Xiaoyi looked at the young man's eyes, a little hesitant, and thought quickly in his mind, and did not rush to refute.
"Next!" The young man saw that An Xiaoyi didn't speak, knowing his knowledge and gaze, he exposed the other party's lies, ignored it anymore, and continued to say weakly.
An Xiaoyi stood aside, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't believe that the topaz token was fake. I wanted to explain it again, but after seeing the young man's firm and disdainful eyes, he chose to give up and argue with others, which was not An Xiaoyi's character.
"There is only one possibility, this topaz token is a private thing, or a secret thing, not everyone knows it, from the other party's eyes, it doesn't look like a lie, maybe he really doesn't know this topaz token, and he hasn't even heard of it. After An Xiaoyi thought about it, her heart suddenly became clear.
"Since he doesn't know him, someone always knows!" An Xiaoyi trusted his own judgment and decided to find out the owner of the topaz token himself.
This Nanfeng Mountain Gate, it looks like a boulder in the distance, the height and width of the boulder are not less than 100 zhang, this boulder is also peculiar, the middle forms a door hole that is dozens of battles wide, it can be regarded as a ghostly workmanship, this mountain gate duty room is on the side of this boulder, it is a stone cave with a width of ten zhang on the boulder. Facing the mountain gate is a huge square, the square is full of thousands of zhang size, although people come and go outside the mountain gate, but the square is still empty.
An Xiaoyi walked to the center of the square directly opposite the mountain gate, sat down cross-legged, put the copper-colored wooden box in front of him, and opened the wooden box, revealing the topaz token placed in the wooden box.
This strange move quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, and after a while, the surrounding area was full of monks who had come to sign up for the registered disciple examination.
"Is this the case with this person, is he going to sell this topaz token?"
When he signed up just now, he took out this topaz token as a token to recommend registration, and was exposed by Senior Brother Hua Feiyu. β
"I think he wants to cultivate immortals and wants to go crazy, and he dares to come and get through with a fake token, it's so naΓ―ve, what kind of place is Qingfeng Gate? This is an immortal gate, they are all immortals, is it so easy to fool?"
"He said that with this topaz token, he can worship the Qingfeng Gate, how is this possible? I haven't heard of it, the Qingfeng Gate has become a registered disciple without passing the assessment, even the elders and children of the mountains are no exception, who does he think he is? Could it be that he is a relative of the first seat of Nanfeng Mountain? Hahahaha......
"This person doesn't look like a liar, it's really unseemly! It's white and pure, it's not good to do something, you have to think about going the wrong way, hey!"
There are more and more people around, which is also the effect An Xiaoyi wants, as for the ridicule of everyone, it is expected, so naturally they will not care.
An hour passed, and the number of people queuing in front of the door of the duty room had decreased by more than half, and only a few dozen people remained. Hua Feiyu, the registered disciple in charge of registration, still has the strength to receive the applicants one by one.
Another hour passed, and the registration was over, but none of the people who had signed up chose to leave, and they all gathered in the center of the square, where An Xiaoyi was.
Everyone looked at An Xiaoyi, behaving strangely, sitting there for two hours, motionless, no matter how the people around him ridiculed and ridiculed, he never said a word, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were slightly open.
"Is this person stupid, he wants to cultivate immortals and wants to go crazy, I heard that the token is fake, he can't accept the blow, and he has a mental breakdown?" After this person finished speaking, he shook his hand in front of An Xiaoyi's eyes.
"I think he's playing the sad card, maybe which immortal has a good heart, and I don't know if he gives him a chance, it's not shallow!"
"Compared with him, we are all lucky, at least we are qualified to participate in the assessment. This is fate, you can't fight with fate!"
Hua Feiyu packed up the bamboo slips for registration, stretched his waist, and just as he wanted to turn around and go back to the duty room to rest, he found that there were many people gathered in the center of the square.
"What are you doing? There will be a registered disciple assessment in a month, why don't you go back and cultivate well, what are you making fun here?" Hua Feiyu raised her voice, leaned her hands behind her back, and raised her head slightly, as if it was the tone of a senior brother.
When everyone heard the sound of the flower flying rain, they were very in awe, and they all bowed their heads and made a way. Hua Feiyu took a big stride and walked up to An Xiaoyi, still with her hands behind her back, her head held high, and her eyes slanted at An Xiaoyi.
"Why haven't you left yet, and still want to continue making up your story?" Hua Feiyu glanced at An Xiaoyi, thinking of the person in front of him, he was unconvinced by his judgment, and he was very unhappy.
An Xiaoyi glanced at Hua Feiyu and kept his mouth shut, he knew that it was useless to say more, the other party had already decided that he was lying, and justifying would only make the situation worse.
"Bold! dare not answer my question, and still glance at me, you dare to be disrespectful to me?" Hua Yu wanted to taunt An Xiaoyi again, but he didn't expect the other party to not answer, and he could see dissatisfaction from the other party's eyes, and even a trace of contempt, which made Hua Feiyu very angry.
"I'll count to three, you hurry up and get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!" Hua Feiyu glared at her eyes, her face was slightly red, and she said viciously.
"One ......"
Hua Feiyu stretched out a finger, and the atmosphere around her suddenly became tense.
"Two ......"
When the count reached "two", someone in the crowd began to persuade An Xiaoyi to let him leave quickly, why suffer the loss in front of him.
"Three ......"
An Xiaoyi had already made up his mind and would not back down, he firmly believed that the owner of the topaz token would definitely appear.
"You're kind of kid! I'll smash your bullshit token first, and see what you do with it. For An Xiaoyi's disrespect and indifference, Hua Feiyu was angry to the extreme, stepped forward with an arrow, bent down to pick up the topaz token in the wooden box, raised it high, and was about to smash it down......
"Stop!"
At this moment, a long rainbow flashed in the sky, and there were two figures faintly in the long rainbow, just the word "stop" made everyone in a trance, as if they were unconscious.
