Dark clouds, strong winds, torrential rain.

In the torrential rain, a curtain of water was formed in front of the eaves, and the cold water vapor suddenly washed away the heat of the past few days. Gao Huan sat on a crude wooden chair and sat at the door looking at the white rainstorm outside.

It has been two days since I came to Gaojiazhuang, and hundreds of people in this small mountain villa have recognized them from top to bottom. For two days, the villagers stopped watching him as a joke.

The dull and boring life in the mountain village also made Gao Huan realize that this was not what he was pursuing. A powerful force, I don't know when it ignited his ambitions. In life, if you don't leave a trace, you will turn into ashes and disappear silently, which is too boring.

Since coming to this world, Gao Huan has changed the negativity of his previous life and has always been actively striving for progress. It can be said that now he is like two people in his previous life. Unconsciously, Gao Huan has completed the transformation from passive laziness to positive self-confidence and self-improvement.

People like Fa Xiang can rely on perseverance and wisdom to step by step to ascend to the heavenly ladder and become a peerless powerhouse. He has conditions that are ten times better than the Faxiang, and his perseverance and wisdom are not inferior to the Faxiang, so there is no reason why he can't climb to the heavenly level.

Shi Feng observed Gao Huan's expression on the side, and for Gao Huan's sake, he deliberately stayed for two days. After a few days of getting along, he also learned a little bit of Gao Huan's temperament. Gao Huan is a person who is very gentle and polite in receiving people and things, although he is not deeply involved in the world, he has his own splendid heart. Not to mention that in this small cottage, where the state capital is located like Shouyang Mansion, Gao Huan is also a first-class talent.

"Virtuous nephew, with all due respect, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, how vast the world is, how can I be trapped in the mountains and wilderness. Shi Feng said suddenly.

Gao Huan smiled slightly: "Uncle Shi, if you save me from the mountain, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Shi Feng smiled, "I'm really sorry for your ability. Why don't you go to Shouyang Mansion with me, and when you get there, you will know how big the world is. When the time comes, if you don't dislike it, you can also come to our Shi family to help. ”

Gao Huan stood up and bowed slightly: "My parents are gone, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for here." I am willing to go on a rampage with Uncle Shi, but I don't have anything long, so I ask Uncle Shi to take care of me. ”

Shi Feng was overjoyed, patted his chest and promised: "This is all a trivial matter, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all on me." ”

After the rain stopped, Gao Huan went out to say goodbye to everyone in Gaojiazhuang. Many relatives naturally warmly retained, and seeing Gao Huan's insistence on leaving, several aunts and aunts couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Before dawn the next day, Shi Feng, Shi Yuan, and Gao Huan packed their bags and set off. Shi Feng Shiyuan collected some herbs in the past two days, plus sundries, etc., and also packed two large bags.

The three of them walked for two days on the mountain road, took a boat straight down in Mingchuan County, walked for another three days, and arrived at Shouyang City, the capital of Jizhou Prefecture, smoothly.

Shouyang is located in the northeast, located on the bank of the Zichuan River, east of the Baicang Mountains, north of the frontier of Tianwolf Castle, south of the imperial capital Tianjing, is the transit center connecting the north and south, with a population of more than one million, is the most important center of the five states in the northeast.

Looking from afar, Shouyang City is square, with a cyan city wall nearly ten zhang high, majestic and extraordinary. The Zichuan River bypasses from the south of the city, the sails on the shore are like clouds, the people are like dense rain, and it is very lively.

Shi Yuan cracked his mouth and laughed: "This is Shouyang, there are many people like ants in it, and beautiful women are all over the street." Tsk, that's called a prosperous and lively ...... "Shi's family is in Liuxian County, which is hundreds of miles away from Shouyang, and Shi Yuan is also extremely yearning for Shouyang City. Speaking of the prosperity of Shouyang, he couldn't suppress his excitement.

Gao Huan didn't know how many times he had heard Shi Yuan talk about the situation in Shouyang, but he was still a little shocked to see such a big city with his own eyes. The empire under the rule of the Xuanyuan Dynasty was still prosperous above Gao Huan's estimates.

After entering the city, Shi Yuan led Gao Huan to a residence in Dongcheng District. Shi Feng went to the pharmacy alone to sell medicine. This residence of the Shi family is a small courtyard, with only two wings, east and west. There's an elderly man in it who cares about the house. This is a house that the Shi family specially bought in Shouyang City for the convenience of travel.

Although Shouyang City is big, it doesn't have what Gao Huan wants. After moving in, Gao Huan lived in seclusion, and spent almost half of his time alone in the courtyard.

During this period, he also returned to Shi's house in Liuxian County with Shi Yuan and Shi Feng to take a look. In Liu County, the Shi family can also be regarded as a local tyrant. There are hundreds of clansmen, as well as farms, fish ponds, pharmacies, cloth villages and other industries. ...,

Shi Feng really wanted to recruit Gao Huan, but in a small talk, he heard that Gao Huan was a fourth-order cultivator and was going to Taiyi to apprentice, which made him immediately cut off his intention to recruit. Their Shi family's pond is too shallow to support Gao Huan, who has lofty aspirations.

Living in the downtown area, but the heart is like water. Gao Huan, who is completely immersed in cultivation, does not know the years. It seems that in the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

In Shouyang City in February, the snow has not yet melted, and there are still crystal ice hangings under the eaves, and the extraordinarily cold spring breeze blows in from the window, making Shi Yuan, who is wearing a jacket, tremble, and his spirit is suddenly lifted.

"Brother, you can take me with you......" Shi Yuan shook his head regardless of Gao Huan, blindly repeating this sentence. Seeing Gao Huan packing up, Shi Yuan suddenly offered to go to Taiyi with Gao Huan to apprentice.

Gao Huan naturally refused, not to mention factors such as the long distance, but Shi Yuan's qualifications were only Zhongping, and Taiyi opened the mountain gate once every three years to receive the world's talents. Shi Yuan is like this, but he can't be called a talent. Also, Shi Yuan is familiar with his background, and he is straightforward, maybe something will go wrong.

Shi Yuan made up his mind, he had been grinding hard with Gao Huan for the past two days, and he wouldn't change his mind if he said anything.

It was easy for Gao Huan to go, but after staying in the Shi family for so long, it was too unkind to throw Shi Yuan down like this. In desperation, Gao Huan could only say: "Taiyi is the first Taoist sect today, and you want to be a Taoist priest when you enter the mountain, Uncle Shi, they will not agree to you going." ”

Shi Yuan pouted when he heard this: "Don't lie to me, Taiyi is a Taoist sect, and the disciples are divided into four types: outer door, inner door, true inheritance, and descendant transmission." Only those who want to inherit the Taoist lineage will become monks. Moreover, even if you are a monk, you are allowed to get married and have children. ”

Gao Huan smiled dumbly, "You have a heart." However, this is a long way to go, and I don't know how many dangers I have to cross. This is even more dangerous than taking medicine. If you really want to go, let Uncle Shi come and talk to me, and I will take you. ”

Shi Yuan's honest face showed a little cunning, "I knew you would say that." Wait for me to call the second uncle. After a while, Shi Yuan dragged this stone peak back.

As soon as he entered the house, Shi Feng said apologetically to Gao Huan: "My nephew has a tendon, he has made up his mind, and no one can change it." It's good to go to Taiyi to apprentice, even if you can't enter the door, you can see the world's talents. Shi Yuan is not sensible, so he has to ask his nephew to take care of him more. ”

When Gao Huan saw Shi Feng coming over, he had already expected that they must have discussed it as well. This was impossible to refuse, so he stood up and said, "Uncle Shi's words are too outward. Brother Shi has been taking care of me for several months. He has a lot of experience, and I want him to take care of him on this trip. After a pause, Gao Huan said again: "Don't hide it from Uncle Shi, this apprenticeship is also the last order of Master Su." I'm going to be able to enter with some certainty that I'll be able to enter the mountain gate. Shi Yuan, I have no choice. ”

Although Haoyang Ling can't say it explicitly, it must also be made clear. lest Shi Yuan be dissatisfied when he sees it.

Shi Yuan saw that Gao Huan's words were clear, and his attitude was sincere, so his heart was relieved. The Shi family didn't have much hope for Shi Yuan's apprenticeship, but since they had this opportunity, it would be good to let Shi Yuan go and take a look. If he becomes a disciple of Taiyi, then the entire Shi family will have to borrow light.

As for how Gao Huan could worship his master, Shi Feng was also very curious. But Gao Huan didn't say it, and he couldn't be reluctant. With the affection between them, it is impossible to say that Gao Huan will give this opportunity to Shi Yuan.

For a few months, Gao Huan paid the house money on time. No matter how much you refuse, it's useless. Shi Feng also realized that Gao Huan's character was firm, not to mention that he was usually gentle as water, he definitely had his own ideas in major matters, and he would not be swayed by others.

Before leaving, the old fox Shi Feng also endured the pain and bleeding, and led Gao Huanshi to the most lively Zhuangyuanfang Street in Shouyang Mansion. This street is full of all kinds of shops, antique jewelry, clothing jewelry, blades and weapons, and even magic weapons. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything is available.

Finding an old ready-to-wear store in Baolong, Shi Feng said generously: "Virtuous nephew, you can pick two sets of clothes here at will." ”

Gao Huan smiled, he had been here for more than three months, and although he rarely wandered, he was already very familiar with Shouyang City. Shi Feng said generously, but his confidence was not so sufficient. Baolong is a time-honored brand, and the real boutiques are on the second and third floors. The lobby on the first floor is full of bargains.

The four walls of the Baolong lobby are covered with gold, and the marble slabs under the feet are recognizable. The guys around are neatly dressed and clean, and they are in good spirits. Shi Yuan rarely came to this kind of place, so he couldn't help but be a little restrained, his eyes rolled wildly, but he didn't dare to move around casually.

Gao Huan randomly picked out a pale yellow fine linen long coat, cotton middle clothes, underwear, and bought a pair of delicately woven linen shoes. I tried it on my body, the length of the long clothes that reached the feet was just right, the texture of the fine linen was soft and more textured than the satin, after Gao Huan changed into this long clothes, he suddenly had a little more elegant than the coarse cloth short dress just now.

Under the huge bronze mirror, Gao Huan felt that it was not bad. For dressing, Gao Huan really doesn't have any requirements. However, people should not be too prominent in the world. Rags and ragged clothes and jade belts are not suitable for his current identity.

A boy in brocade came down from the second floor, and when he saw Gao Huan, he couldn't help but look at him. Gao Huan, who was dressed in a fine linen robe, had heroic facial features, a slender figure, a natural and free manners, and a calm and calm bearing. As soon as the man saw it, he couldn't help but think of a word: light wind and moon.

That demeanor is not intimidating, but it has a heart-wrenching demeanor. Even among the thousands, you can see him at a glance. Shouyang City, which has millions of people, has never seen such a person.

When Shi Feng rushed to pay the bill, the shopkeeper said that someone had already paid on his behalf. Gao Huan followed the shopkeeper's gaze and saw that the brocade-clothed boy was smiling and nodding to him. Gao Huan also bowed his hand. But he didn't want to accept favors for nothing, so he insisted on giving the money himself.

Seeing Gao Huan and the others go out, the delicate and delicate little maid next to the boy in brocade wrinkled her nose and said, "This person really doesn't know how to lift." ”

The boy in brocade didn't care, and said with a smile: "This person has an extraordinary demeanor, if you have the opportunity, you want to make friends......
