Chapter 4 The Journey

After going out, the man in Tsing Yi took the three of them with iron eggs and got into a carriage with the word Baiyun printed on it.

Before getting into the car, the man in Tsing Yi glanced at Li Tiedan, whose eyes were red, and asked, "There is still enough time, don't you really have to say goodbye to your father anymore?" Tie Dan sniffed, pretending not to care, and said, "No need, I've cried anyway, and I'll see you again." “

The man in Tsing Yi still responded indifferently, as if he didn't care about anything. Nodding to the coachman, he got into the carriage first. The three children looked at each other, Li Tiedan took the lead, climbed into the carriage, and the two children also followed when they saw this.

After Li Tiedan sat down, he looked at the decorations in the carriage in a novel way, and secretly glanced at the man in Tsing Yi from time to time. After the man in Tsing Yi waited for them to sit down, he said to the groom, "Uncle Wang, let's go." Then he picked up the book in his hand again and read it.

Li Tiedan was a little excited when he took the carriage for the first time, looking out of the window from time to time and not talking, and the other two children sat up straight with their hands on their laps, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the academy envoy, as for the man in Tsing Yi, he was unlikely to take the initiative to speak, and the atmosphere in the carriage was dull for a while.

When Li Tiedan was tired of seeing the scenery outside the window, he turned around and began to look at a few people in the car. Li Tiedan looked at the two children of his fellow villagers who were rigid and restrained with some amusement. "You all know my name, but I don't know you yet. Tell us about yourself. ”

The two children secretly looked at the man in Tsing Yi, and after the man in Tsing Yi turned a page of the book, as if he had seen through the hearts of the two children, he said, "They are all fellow villagers, and they should get to know each other. ”

When the two children heard this, they really relaxed a lot, and one of them said more loudly, "My name is Wang Han, and his name is Meng Xiang." We are both students in the town school, but you are really good, at such a young age, you have convinced the gentleman. Obviously, Li Tiedan's previous words calmed the two of them, and their words were full of worship for Li Tiedan.

"I'm determined to become an immortal, how can these little things be difficult for me?" Li Tiedan said proudly.

The two of them widened their eyes in surprise when they heard this, and Meng Xiang, who had never spoken, said questioningly, "You really dare to say it, just look at our Ping'an County, there are more than 100 people who have participated in the admission examination, and among these more than 100 people, only the top three can really participate in the entrance examination of Baiyun Academy." Even if you are lucky enough to enter the top three, you have to take a test of knowledge and physique before you really enter Baiyun Academy, and only after passing the test can you really study in Baiyun Academy, so after screening, there can only be more than 100 people admitted to the entire Great Wei Kingdom, and only a few of them can be favored by the Immortal Cultivation Sect. "These people are all people with great perseverance, great wisdom and great opportunity, although you can argue with the master, but if you want to become an immortal, aren't you talking about a dream?" Wang Han nodded deeply beside him.

Although Li Tiedan knew that it was difficult to become an immortal, he still gasped when he really heard the harsh conditions, you must know that there are millions of people in the entire Great Wei Kingdom, and there are only a few people who can become immortals every year, even if he is confident, he does not dare to say that he will definitely be able to become one of them. But even if it is so difficult, he still will not choose to retreat, since he has decided to take this path, then Li Tiedan will definitely stick to it.

He quickly adjusted his mentality, patted his chest and said, "The harsher the conditions for becoming an immortal, the better, so that when I become an immortal, I can better reflect my strength!" The two of them couldn't help but snicker when they saw him in such a posture, and in their hearts, they had already defined Li Tiedan as a child who was a little clever and didn't know how thick the sky was.

The man in Tsing Yi was not disturbed by the conversation of the three children, and still looked at the book in his hand. Li Tiedan's strangeness at this time had all dissipated, and he looked at the man in Tsing Yi curiously, in Tiedan's opinion, this man in Tsing Yi was full of mystery. "What do we call you, Envoy? You can't keep calling you Envoy. After hesitating, Li Tiedan asked cautiously.

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi put down the book in his hand, looked at Li Tiedan and chuckled, "You don't have to know my name now, if you enter Baiyun Academy, you will naturally know my name." ”

Wang Han and Meng Xiang next to him nodded gloomily, obviously in their opinion, they would never have the opportunity to know the name of the man in Tsing Yi in their lives. Only Li Tiedan was not very happy because of the answer of the man in Tsing Yi, and this answer obviously felt that he was not qualified enough to know his name. So he said angrily, "Okay, just wait until I get the first test and then tell me your name, Lord Envoy!"

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head with a faint smile and picked up his book again. Li Tiedan was not in the mood to chat with the two fellow villagers, after this episode, the carriage was quiet again, only the sound of whipping and scolding from the coachman outside came from time to time. The three children, who had never made a carriage, did not notice that the carriage was speeding on such a bumpy road without the slightest shaking or sound, which was obviously not in line with the common sense of the world.

Depressed by the dull atmosphere in the car, Li Tiedan gradually felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and after a while, he yawned and fell asleep. In the dream, he overcame all the obstacles all the way, and finally stood out in the world in Baiyun Academy, and was favored by a white-bearded fairy and became an immortal.

Just when he was most proud, he suddenly heard someone call him "Li Tiedan, wake up", and in a trance he realized that it was just a dream. Li Tiedan opened his eyes with anger on his face, trying to see who disturbed his sweet dream, but he was suddenly frightened by the scene in front of him, he found that he was lying on the lap of the man in Tsing Yi, with saliva still on the corner of his mouth, and Wang Han and Meng Xiang on the other side were looking at him with a smile.

Tiedan's face turned red, and he sat up in a panic and wiped his saliva, and the man in Tsing Yi smiled and said to Li Tiedan, "I didn't want to wake you up, but now it's time for dinner, I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dream." There was a bit of urgency in his voice.

Li Tiedan's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just too tired, that's why I fell asleep, and it's not usually like this." Hearing this, Wang Han and Meng Xiang laughed even more. It seems that this kid is not as annoying as he imagined.

"Okay, let's go eat now, you can continue to sleep after eating, and you will arrive in Ping'an County tomorrow morning" The man in Tsing Yi saw Li Tiedan's embarrassment, so he spoke out to relieve Li Tiedan, and after finishing speaking, he got out of the carriage, and Li Tiedan hurriedly followed, for fear that the two people behind him would laugh at him again. Wang Han and Meng Xiang glanced at each other, suppressed the smile in their hearts, and got out of the carriage with the two.

Next to the carriage, the coachman Lao Wang had already built a bonfire, and after the four of them got off the car, they sat around the bonfire, watched the coachman set up a pot, put some rice in the pot, and boiled porridge. The man in Tsing Yi explained to the three people, "There is no one around here, so we can only make do with something." Seeing this, Li Tiedan ran back to the carriage and picked up his bags, took it to the bonfire with great difficulty, and began to take out the same things in front of everyone, big white cakes, dried sweet potatoes, dried meat, honey, and even a jar of salt. "When I'm out of the house, I don't have a lot of things, so everyone makes do with something. ”

Rao is indifferent in his heart, like a man in Tsing Yi, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Isn't this still very much?" Li Tiedan looked at them all stunned, "Why are you stunned? Don't be polite to me." Uncle Qing, Grandpa Wang, and the two of you eat quickly. ”

The man in Tsing Yi pointed at himself with a puzzled expression, "Uncle Qing, are you talking about me?" "Yes, you don't tell me your name, since you are wearing a green dress, then I will call you Uncle Qing." Li Tiedan said as a matter of course.

"Uncle Qing, it seems to sound pretty good. The man in Tsing Yi touched his chin and thought, remembering the way Li Tiedan slept on his lap in the afternoon, and a warm feeling flashed in his heart. It was as if the kid was like him.

When the man in Tsing Yi came back to his senses, he found that the three children and the coachman Lao Wang had already gnawed on the dried meat, and the other two children nodded while eating, and even the coachman Lao Wang couldn't care about the porridge he had boiled. "Hey, hey, leave me two. With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, the man in Tsing Yi also joined in the rush to grab the jerky. "It seems like a lot of fun. The man in Tsing Yi thought as he chewed on jerky.

Uncle Wang, the coachman, looked at the man in Tsing Yi in surprise, this was the first time he had seen the mad scholar Xu Ran show such a posture. Then he took a deep look at Li Tiedan, who was smearing honey on the jerky, and then concentrated on taking care of the porridge he had boiled, but the deep expression on his face showed that he was in a fluctuating mood at the moment.
