Chapter 16: The Confucians
Outside the martial arts!
"Why hasn't it come out yet?"
Song Tao looked at the martial arts field that had been surging out from the previous to now he couldn't see his figure and said a little anxiously, and the various Dao congratulations and unwilling voices from the surrounding area made him a little nervous, among the more than ten people in their Xiaotian Village, only Meng Xiaofan and Chai Kui had spiritual roots, and he was even more worried about the situation that Qiu Baiyu had told him before, but he didn't expect that this year he would not recruit people with spiritual roots at the Xuan level.
"Don't worry, I think they'll come out soon. Ning Hong, the beautiful woman on the side, said lightly, but although she said this, she could see a trace of anxiety, she had already learned about it in Qiu Baiyu's mouth, but waiting for so long also made her a little shaken.
"Master Song, I didn't expect that only one person from your village would enter the Tianlan Sect, but this is not bad. Seeing this, Qiu Long, a bearded man from Fengqiu Village, said lightly, last time in the distribution of food, he didn't expect that Xiao Tian Village would make him breathe a sigh of relief except for a character like Meng Xiaofan, but this time Qiu Baiyu detected the Heavenly Spirit Root for him, and he also knew that he would have the achievements of the Heavenly Spirit Root in the future, and he was even more proud of his nephew.
"Hmph, with Xiaofan's qualifications, even if you don't join, you won't be familiar with you in the future. Originally, the test did not have a spiritual root, so he held back a fire in his belly, but when he heard Qiulong's words at this moment, Fat Dun said dissatisfiedly.
"Uncle, it's time to go, some luggage still needs to be prepared. Qiu Baiyu didn't pay any attention to Fat Dun's words and said to Qiu Long on the side, and then the two of them slowly left with the rest of the village.
As time passed, the people waiting outside the martial arts field gradually dispersed, and finally only Xiao Tiancun, the Ning family and the middle-aged men not far away were waiting, one of them was wearing a gorgeous costume with a square face and a slightly fat face, making a simple man wearing a beast robe **** with half of his arms.
"It's out!"
At this time, I don't know who shouted loudly, only to see six people walking out of the passage of the gate of the martial arts, looking at the six men and women waiting outside, the people couldn't help but walk forward quickly, and asked about the final situation, although they had heard some from others before, but they wanted to hear the parties confirm once.
Meng Xiaofan and Chai Kui briefly talked to everyone in Xiaotian Village about the previous incident, and when they heard that Meng Xiaofan was seriously injured by the immortals, they couldn't help but scream fiercely, and at the same time praised Meng Xiaofan's unyieldingness.
"Xiao Fan, hearing you say this, it doesn't make much sense for this Burning Sun Sect to advance or not, but you have to work harder in this Silent Sect, and we will let people check the situation of this Silent Sect. ”
Listening to Meng Xiaofan's account, Song Tao pondered for a moment and said, he didn't know much about these big sects, but judging from his many years of experience, even if Meng Xiaofan entered the Lieyang Sect, it was not necessarily a good thing.
"Well, I want to show these great sects that even if the spiritual root is not good, with my unremitting efforts, I can still go far on the path of cultivating immortals. Meng Xiaofan looked at Song Tao with resolute eyes and said, with a touch of unyielding and firm belief in his words.
"Hehe, I'm relieved that you can think like this, no matter what you do, as long as you work hard, even if you don't succeed in the end, you are worthy of yourself. Song Lao nodded with satisfaction and said, Meng Xiaofan can think of him like this, he is relieved, and he has had high hopes for him since he was a child, and he is also the most optimistic among his peers in the village, hoping that it will not affect his state of mind because of this incident.
Then the group walked in the direction of the inn, on the way, Meng Xiaofan proposed to go around, and Chai Kui was supposed to follow, but Song Tao said that there was something to discuss with him, so he did not follow.
Farewell to everyone Meng Xiaofan wandered all the way, after the previous things, he didn't want to go back so soon, wander around and relax, but I have to say that this Qingye City is really prosperous, and the endless flow of people and high-end consumption places everywhere show the atmosphere of Qingye City.
Meng Xiaofan, who was shy in his pocket, also left after watching in these places for a while, and unconsciously came to an alley with a sparse flow of people while wandering, but there were also some small shops in the alley, this is a tea shop imprinted in Meng Xiaofan's eyes, the tea shop is not big, just pull out a sunshade cloth in front of the door, and there are several tables and chairs below, the store looks a little deserted at this time, and only one person sits in it.
I was really thirsty after walking around the city for so long before, and the price of this shop would not be so expensive, so I would rest here, thinking about Meng Xiaofan, he walked over and sat down, and ordered a pot of tea.
"Uncle, this is the tea you asked for before, I didn't blow this tea, I will definitely want to continue drinking it after drinking the first bowl. At this moment, a white-haired old man who looked like a shopkeeper walked quickly to a middle-aged elegant man with a pot of tea trees, leaned over to pour tea, and smiled from time to time.
Hearing the old man's voice, Meng Xiaofan glanced at it inadvertently, he hadn't seen the man's appearance before, and his heart couldn't help but bulge at this moment.
The man's thin eyebrows and square face, his eyebrows are elegant, his eyes are blazing, and he seems to sit casually but gives people a kind of prestige without anger, and a white robe, no matter what, gives people a kind of bearing that makes people pay attention, like a star in the night, no matter where it can not hide its luster.
At this time, the Confucian seemed to feel Meng Xiaofan's gaze and suddenly turned his head to Meng Xiaofan and nodded, but at a certain moment, there was a faint strangeness in this person's eyes, but it was fleeting.
"Boss, wait for the big brother next to me to settle the tea money with me. ”
Looking at the peaceful smile of the Confucian scholar, Meng Xiaofan couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and subconsciously waved his hand to the boss who had just come out of it and said, and then picked up the freshly filled tea bowl and drank it all, feeling happy.
When the tea shop owner heard Meng Xiaofan's words, he was stunned and glanced at the Confucian scholar strangely, and a faint smile appeared on the old man's face, and then he found a place to do it, and drank tea by himself.
"Hahaha, thank you little brother, if you don't mind, come and sit for a while, right?" The Confucian laughed and raised his white-sleeved hand, motioning for Meng Xiaofan to come and drink tea together.
"Okay, you're welcome. ”
Seeing this, Meng Xiaofan got up and came to the table made by the Confucian scholar, pulled out the chair and made it opposite him, for some reason he felt very casual when facing this man, not as restrained as a stranger.
"I don't know the name of the little brother?" Personally filled a bowl of tea for Meng Xiaofan, and the Confucian asked slowly.
"Meng Xiaofan, I don't know ...... Mr," Meng Xiaofan replied.
"Meng Xiaofan, hehe, the little brother will be extraordinary in the future, in the next name Yan Ziyi, I am older than you, don't call Mr., don't dislike it, just call Brother Yan." After reading Meng Xiaofan's name back and forth, Yan Yi said with that peaceful smile again, as if he could see something from his name.
"Brother Yan has won the prize, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. ”
Hearing Yan Yi's words, Meng Xiaofan showed a wry smile, although he was limited by the spiritual root to enter the Silent Sect, he would need to redouble his efforts in the future, and even he himself could not know what his future achievements would be.
"Brother Xiaofan is going to enter the Immortal Gate in a few days, right? Being able to enter the Immortal Gate is something that we mortals dream of. After taking a sip of tea, Iwaichi said slowly, as if his deep dark eyes could see through everything.
"You, how do you know?"
Meng Xiaofan couldn't help but be surprised, after leaving the martial arts field, few people knew that they had entered the Silent Sect, how did this person know?
"First, today is the day when the Immortal Sect recruits disciples, and second, you didn't have any doubts about my words before, but directly asked me how I knew, I don't know which sect Brother Xiaofan joined?"
"Shanzong, dare to ask Brother Yan what is the matter with coming to Aoba City?"
"Oh, I was going to the next castle, but I didn't expect that the sky was covered with magic clouds when I passed through Aoba Castle yesterday, so I stayed here for some time to be safe. Iwaichi said, while leading the topic to yesterday's demon clouds that shrouded thousands of miles.
"I heard that it was caused by the people of the Demon Dao, although I don't know what the specific cause is, but the momentum is very terrifying and powerful. ”
Recalling yesterday's scene, it seems that he still remembers vividly, thousands of miles of demonic power shrouded in this is to have such a strong strength to form, and it was at that time that Meng Xiaofan had a more specific understanding of the power beyond martial arts, as well as the yearning for powerful power.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child in Oda Village, and his heart is to cultivate martial arts to the peak, when he was ten years old, he learned about the existence of immortals from Song Tao's mouth, which changed his mind, but the power of immortal cultivators is limited to his own imagination, but when he saw it yesterday, he overturned his previous cognition.
"Oh, that's the case, I don't know what Brother Xiaofan thinks of these evil and terrifying people of the Demon Dao?" Yan Yi looked suddenly enlightened, as if he didn't know much about yesterday's events, and then asked.
"Evil and terrifying? I've never met people in the Demon Dao who dare not make conclusions, but I think that since they are all human beings, they are not necessarily all bad people, maybe the people of the world do not fully understand these Demon Dao people. Meng Xiaofan replied, although he had not heard of the actions of people in the Demon Dao, and he believed that there was a difference between good and bad people, and there was no total negative view.
"Hahaha, Brother Xiaofan, your point of view is very unique. Hearing Meng Xiaofan's words, Yan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he couldn't help but show a touch of appreciation.
"Brother Yan, it's not too early, if I haven't gone back yet, my family will be worried. Looking at the sky, Meng Xiaofan said, unconsciously the two of them chatted for a full hour, and if they didn't go back after coming out for so long, Song Lao and they would definitely be worried.
"Okay, I'll see you again in the future, and I'm going to have a drink with Brother Xiaofan, haha. Yan came to Meng Xiaofan's side, patted his shoulder with one hand, and said with a smile, quite like Meng Xiaofan at first sight.
After saying goodbye to Yan Yi, Meng Xiaofan, who had paid the tea money, walked quickly towards the alley, but he didn't expect that today he not only entered the Silent Sect, so that he could step into the ranks of cultivating immortals, but also met this Yan Yi, who could talk so well, and it was not worth the trip this time.
"Demon Lord, why are you so ...... to this person?"
After Meng Xiaofan walked away, the owner of the tea shop, who had been sitting on a chair beside him, slowly came to Yan Yi's side and asked, his wrinkled old face was full of respect, which was a gaze that bordered on admiration.
"Haha, interesting!"
Looking at the figure of Meng Xiaofan who disappeared at the end of the alley, Yan's eyes were full of golden light, like a dazzling scorching sun, the momentum of the whole person was extremely domineering at this moment, making people unable to raise a trace of resistance, and the king of the world was nothing more than that, at this moment, how could there be such a gentle and elegant Confucian scholar, the sharp temperament even the old man on the side frowned slightly, and his body couldn't help bending a little again, as if in front of this man, everything should be surrendered to him, a gust of wind blew, the alley is still the original alley, and the tea shop is still the original tea shop, but the two people who stood here before have disappeared without a trace
