Chapter 8: Apprenticeship
Xu Fan is a person who loves fantasy, when he used to look at the store in the antique city, when he was bored, he liked to read Xianxia novels such as Xiuzhen, and he was very yearning for all kinds of flying swords and treasure ships in the novels, but he never thought that one day he would be able to travel on a flying ship, and life was really amazing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Having personally experienced the speed of this treasure ship, Xu Fan understood that Wang Hao said that Yan Country was not ordinarily far away from Qin State, so relatively, how vast the world he was in should be, Xu Fan felt excited just thinking about it.
With the unpleasantness that happened on the deck, Xu Fan never left the guest room along the way, as for Wang Hao, he was not a talkative person, as soon as he entered the room and didn't say a few words, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to vomit, he really didn't let go of any spare time, Xu Fan was impressed by his efforts, so he was embarrassed to disturb others.
Fortunately, the guest room where they were was was also full of all kinds of fruits and wines, Xu Fan ate and drank while looking at the scenery outside through the window, which was also considered to be at ease, and when he was really tired of it, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
After two and a half days of travel, Xu Fan and Wang Hao arrived at their first transit station, which was Luocheng, the second largest city in the Qin State, but in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and hurry quickly, the two did not wander around the city, and directly transferred to another ship at the treasure ship docking point.
But even if he didn't enter the city, just looking through the window, Xu Fan was already stunned, only to see the pavilions and pavilions that could not be seen at a glance, spread out in front of him like a picture scroll, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people, just looking at it felt very lively.
What attracted Xu Fan's attention the most was that in the middle of the city, there was a statue, the statue was towering into the clouds, the whole statue was white, looking at its shape Xu Fan concluded that it must be a woman, but the woman's face was covered by clouds and mist, Xu Fan did not see her appearance clearly, and asked Wang Hao to know that this statue was carved thousands of years ago in this Los Angeles City of a stunning female cultivator, later generations called it Luoshen, as for the specific legend of this Luoshen, Wang Hao is in Yan Kingdom, and he doesn't know much.
Luocheng was just a glimpse, and after staying for less than half a burnt incense in total, Wang Hao and Xu Fan started their journey again, this time from Los Angeles in Qin to Windy City in Lu State.
Wang Hao told Xu Fan that Lu is a small country sandwiched between Qin and Yan, and Lu is still a vassal of Qin, and its national strength is relatively weak, and the reason for this result is that half of Lu is Gobi, sparsely populated, and there are few Xiuzhen sects, so Lu is often bullied by neighboring countries, and in the end he can only become a vassal of others.
When he arrived in the Windy City, Xu Fan knew that the name of the city was really worthy of the name, he heard the whistling wind outside on the boat, and even more so when he got off the boat, there was still gravel in the wind, and the face of the person who hit him hurt, and although the Windy City was a city, it was not as big as a border city in Qin, if it weren't for the fact that this Windy City was a necessary place to go to Yan and Zhao, it is estimated that this would not have become a transit point at all.
The two of them didn't stay in Windy City, they directly changed boats and went to Wushuang City, the capital of Yan Kingdom, the distance from Windy City to Wushuang City was already very close, and it took about a day to arrive by treasure boat.
The Yuntian Sect where Wang Hao was located was the second largest sect in the Yan Kingdom, and its location was in Qiyun Mountain, five hundred miles north of Wushuang City.
When he arrived in Wushuang City, it was already late at night, and Wang Hao didn't take Xu Fan to appreciate the style of the capital, and directly took Xu Fan out of the city gate, pinching a small sword with both hands and flying out of the cuffs and falling to the ground, the light flashed, and I saw that the small sword turned into a big sword more than a foot long and a foot wide in an instant.
"Brother Wang, do we want the sword to fly?" I had already seen the style of this sword flying at the Qin State Pass, and now I saw that Wang Hao had also conjured a big sword, and I had already guessed the result in my heart, but I still couldn't help but ask excitedly.
"Well, come and stand" Wang Hao stepped on the flying sword and stood at the front of the sword.
"Okay" Xu Fan was already eager to try, and quickly followed and stood up.
Wang Hao saw that Xu Fan had already stood firm, his hands pinched again, and he pointed forward with a muffled voice, only to see the big sword slowly rise from the ground, pause slightly, and then rush towards the sky with a swish.
"Wow" Xu Fan was startled, this is different from taking a spaceship, this is a personal experience of acceleration, Xu Fan's body inertia fell backwards, Xu Fan's frightened face turned green, and he quickly grabbed Xu Fan's clothes, barely keeping his balance, just when Xu Fan panicked, a slow external force wrapped his body, and even the wind that had just blown from his body was shielded to both sides, and the whole body suddenly became free.
It was dark night at the moment, Xu Fan looked down, and saw a little light flickering below, a bunch of them gathered together, some with a large range, some with a small range, Xu Fan knew that those must be some villages and towns.
The speed of the flying sword was very fast, and it took less than three hours to reach the mountain gate of Yuntian Sect, at this time the sky was already a little white, and five huge peaks stood in front of Xu Fan, looking up, I saw that the main peak of each of these peaks exceeded the height of the clouds, and its peak loomed in the clouds and mist, revealing an infinite sense of mystery.
Wang Hao did not stop in front of the mountain gate, and flew directly to the leftmost peak with Xu Fan, and finally stopped in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
"Xu Fan, you just rest in this room, I will go to the master in a while, and come back to you" Wang Hao led Xu Fan into a room in the courtyard and said to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was not sure whether his master would accept Wang Hao as an apprentice, so he first went to explain the situation to the master before making plans, if the master was unwilling to accept the apprentice, Wang Hao had no choice but to send Xu Fan back to his hometown.
"Okay, you go get busy first, don't worry about me"
Along the way, Wang Hao has already given Xu Fan a vaccination, so Xu Fan is also mentally prepared, for him, if he can't cultivate immortals, it's not a problem to be a guy or shopkeeper for mortals, Xu Fan hasn't been to school for a few years, but he has a strong ability to survive in society, so he is not worried about surviving in this world.
The only thing is that Xu Fan feels that the two levels of mortals and monks in this world are too obvious, unlike his original world, which is still equal and free, and it is necessary to play with his life if he is careless here.
After Wang Hao left, Xu Fan saw that there was a ready-made futon on the bed in the room, so he unfolded the futon and slept in the quilt, he was too sleepy, although the flying sword was very exciting, but he was still a mortal after all, he didn't sleep in the sky all night, and he forgot what troubles he was when he saw the bed at this moment.
"Xu Fan, get up, the master wants to see you" When Xu Fan was sleeping well, he was woken up by Wang Hao and got up in a daze.
"The master is kind, when we meet and ask you anything, you can just answer as you like, don't be afraid"
Wang Hao took Xu Fan to walk on the mountain road while telling him the precautions for seeing the master.
For these reminders, Xu Fan remembered them one by one, but what made Xu Fan wonder was that he didn't meet anyone on the way up the mountain, didn't he say that it was the second largest sect in Yan Kingdom, he took a look at the mountain gate last night, the momentum of the mountain gate was several times more magnificent than that of the Sanssouci Valley, and there were more than a dozen people standing guard at the gate alone, why was there such a shortage of people in this mountain gate.
"Could it be that they are all in retreat and cultivation in the cave? Well, it must be like this, isn't it said in the novel, a retreat is ten days and half a month, and even several years, if the disciples here are all diligent cultivators like Wang Hao, maybe they really can't see people" Xu Fan felt that his reasoning must be correct through the experience of reading the novel.
When Xu Fan had already walked and was sweating profusely, he finally saw a big mansion at the top of the mountain, which was surrounded by clouds and mist, obviously at a very high altitude.
At the gate of the house, Wang Hao stood up, clasped his fists and respectfully said to the courtyard: "Master, Xu Fan has been brought."
"Bring him in" A deep voice came from inside the house, this voice was not loud, but Xu Fan felt as if it was said in his ear.
With the permission of the master, Wang Hao took Xu Fan into the courtyard and came to the main room.
Entering the door, Xu Fan saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting on a futon, it was really a fairy wind and bones, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Wang Hao and Xu Fan.
Seeing this look, Xu Fan suddenly felt as if he was facing a majestic mountain, which made him feel awe, Xu Fan quickly lowered his head and stopped looking.
"Master, this is what I told you about Xu Fan" Wang Hao pointed at Xu Fan and said, and at the same time gave Xu Fan a look.
Xu Fan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Little Xu Fan, I have seen my predecessors", this rhetoric was taught to him by Wang Hao in advance, and Xu Fan is still in the process of adapting to the way people in this world speak.
"Well, yes, the spirit is quite strong, you should have practiced some mortal fists and feet, Hao'er said that you want to cultivate immortals, can you tell the old man why you want to cultivate immortals?" The old man looked at Xu Fan and nodded and asked with a smile.
"This" Xu Fan squinted at Wang Hao, but Wang Hao didn't have any expression, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said casually: "I saw the monk flying with the sword in the sky, and I felt very comfortable, I also want to have that kind of freedom, I want to swim in the sky without restraint, this is the reason why I want to cultivate immortals."
"Comfortable, unrestrained, hehe, well-said, are you willing to worship me as a teacher" The old man heard Xu Fan say this, and said with a happy smile.
Xu Fan was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Apprentice to meet the master."
"Bang bang bang" Xu Fan kowtowed three times in a row, his heart was extremely happy, and he said in his heart that I can actually cultivate immortals.
