Chapter 2 Seeking Immortals
Following
Early in the morning, Bai Xiao was dressed neatly with a gloomy face and leaned against the door frame of the hall. Because of how angry she was that she was pulled out of the bed before dawn for more than 20 years, and was ordered to receive the guests who came today, when she thought of Steward Qiu's smiling face like old bark, Bai Xiao was powerless when she thought about it.
"Lord Wu, you are the earliest!Haha, this is Ling Gongzi! Looking at this handsome appearance, I am afraid that there is a fairy fate!" Steward Qiu squinted and smiled at the gate not far from Bai Xiao.
"Steward Qiu's body is still so tough! How can Wu miss the five-year apprenticeship conference!" The person who came was a middle-aged man, followed by a young man, and a dusty temperament could be seen between the eyebrows of the sword at a young age.
"Butler Qiu, this is a snack. Haha" The man surnamed Wu disguised himself and handed a bag of things to Steward Qiu, causing the old man to laugh.
"Haha, don't worry, Lord Wu, the best location is for you! Girl! Come on! Take Lord Wu to the living room. ”
"Yes!Yes!Yes!" Bai Xiao led the two of them to the living room with a helpless face, this kind of trivial matter is troublesome!
"Master Song Zhuang is here! This...... How embarrassing is this!girl!girl......"
I don't know how long it took, Bai Xiao felt that he was about to fall asleep, and half-squinted his eyes and brought the guests into the living room. If no one calls her, she can fall asleep standing up. Sending the person into the living room, he turned around and wanted to continue leaning against the door frame, but he was tapped on the shoulder.
"Wake up, Bai Xiao!"
"Oh, it's Xiaoshuang!" The person who came was Xiaoshuang, who had met yesterday.
"Hehe, hey, according to the usual practice, this time is the best time to eat, why don't you come with me?"
"Well, it's boring here. Bai Xiao said with a frown.
"Girl, girl, come out to pick up the guests!" Butler Qiu shouted at the door. Maybe it's because there are too many things on me, and I don't know where to move a stool to sit at the door. "Here, this is a sugar cake! it's delicious!" Xiao Shuang took out a piece of pastry from the table next to him and handed it to Bai Xiao. The latter took a bite and was gone
"The immortals are coming! quiet, here!" I don't know who said, and the whole hall quickly fell silent. Bai Xiao also lost his sleepiness, and looked into the distance, only to see a green cloud appear in the distance with the sun on the edge of the sky, and there were two middle-aged figures in blue clothes on the cloud, and before Bai Xiao wiped the residue on his face, the two people on the cloud flew into the courtyard, and one of them made a move The green cloud disappeared into his palm.
"I'll wait for the immortals to arrive!" shouted everyone in the living room.
"It's okay! it's okay!" said the slightly younger man, grinning.
"Yuancheng! This time it's actually you who came to select!" I saw two middle-aged men and women walking excitedly, holding the hand of another man, and said cordially.
"This time, it was actually Qiu Yuancheng, who was selected by the Qiu family five years ago, to select the disciples! I am afraid that the youngest daughter of the Qiu family will also be selected!" someone beside Bai Xiao whispered.
"Brother!" As soon as the words fell, in another part of the courtyard, a well-dressed girl fell into Qiu Yuancheng's arms with excitement on her face.
"Daddy, Xiaolan, I'm back to see you," Qiu Yuancheng was slightly excited.
"Yuancheng! I'm your uncle, I want to watch you grow up back then!"
"This is incredible, double happiness is coming!"
"Congratulations!"
From the scramble of the people to say loudly, lest Qiu Yuancheng not hear. It was a moment before it was quiet.
"Senior Brother Qiu, let's hurry up and recruit disciples! Time is pressing!" another man said to Qiu Yuan.
"Yes, what the junior brother said!"
"Daddy, Xiaolan, you get out of the way first, and Senior Brother Lu and I will do business now. ”
"Everyone, please come to me with children over the age of eight and under fifteen!" Qiu Yuancheng said softly, but his voice was surprisingly loud. After a while, nearly fifty teenagers and girls who met the requirements came out one after another with the encouragement and expectation of their families, and surrounded the two immortals, and Bai Xiao was of course also mixed in.
The two of them raised their hands almost at the same time, and pressed down between pinching them, and Bai Xiao felt the abnormal pressure on his shoulders the moment they raised their hands. As Qiu Yuancheng's hand slowly pressed down, a cyan light appeared on his hand.
The people around him fell one after another, and some children looked around strangely as if they were nothing, Bai Xiao gritted his teeth and insisted, but the sweat of the bean was dripping on the red face, and his feet trembled!
As the children fell unconscious one by one, the hearts of the adults standing on the periphery also rose to their throats. also looked at their children and shook their heads, with a gloomy expression. If you pass, it means glory and wealth, and if you fall, you will lose all your efforts!
"Whew, huh!" Bai Xiao was still insisting, his teeth clenched, his face was twisted, and his whole body was bent, just like one. It's not a way to go on like this, seeing that Qiu Yuancheng doesn't have an end at all, calm and calm. But I don't know if there are rules.
Bai Xiao struggled to maintain the balance of his body, looked at the wall beside him, and poured into the wall next to him with all his strength. After a dull sound, Bai Xiao finally dispersed some of the pressure on the wall, and at this time, Qiu Yuancheng also looked over and frowned slightly. Then the cyan light on his hand became more dazzling, and flickered from time to time.
The young people who were just leisurely also began to be solemn, and there were only a dozen people left in the entire courtyard of more than fifty people.
Damn! Isn't it okay yet!Bai Xiao felt that if it weren't for a wall to support, he would have fainted a long time ago, and those who were still standing in the middle were so good?
Because there were only a dozen people standing on the field, Bai Xiao's standing posture was immediately noticed.
"Look at that kid, how can this be!"
"Whose child is that!"
"It's cheating! cheating!" a middle-aged man scolded. But they are all just whispering, because everyone is smart and knows that the decision is not in their own hands, and the trouble comes from the mouth.
"Hmm! smart!haha" Steward Qiu appeared on the side of the crowd at some point, and was stunned when he saw Bai Xiaoshi, and then cracked his mouth and smiled.
When there were less than ten people left on the field in the time of half a cup of tea, Qiu Yuancheng and the two finally put down their hands. Bai Xiao didn't say a word, and threw himself on the ground without any image, and casually looked at the other eight people who were still standing on the field, most of them were sweating and prostrate on the ground, and only three of them were just messy clothes. One of them is Qiu Lan, the youngest daughter of the Qiu family, and the other is Wu Hao, who had a relationship with each other this morning, and the last one was wearing civilian clothes, and Bai Xiao was not affected at all.
"One person in grade A, two people in grade B, three people in grade C, two people with grade D qualifications, as for you, you are not even a grade D. Qiu Yuancheng said, and finally looked at Bai Xiao who fell to the ground.
"Forget it, Senior Brother Qiu, this time to recruit disciples, since you have met three good seedlings, the elders of the sect will definitely reward you well!"
"Hehe! Senior Brother Lu will definitely be indispensable at that time!" Thinking of the sect's reward, Qiu Yuancheng ignored Bai Xiao, anyway, this kind of goods will only result in extinction!
"Alright, this apprenticeship is over!" Qiu Yuancheng said to the obviously unwilling crowd.
"Okay! It's rare once in five years, I'll sit in the village and prepare good wine and invite everyone to have a good drink!" His face was flushed, and he looked very proud when he spoke. 、
"Congratulations to the old owner of Qiu!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Someone in the courtyard woke up the children one after another, some of them looked confused, and some even sobbed lowly.
"Girl, when are you going to sleep?, you girl, you're very smart!" Steward Qiu walked up to Bai Xiao with a smile, holding a cane in his hand at some point, and gently knocked Bai Xiao.
"If you don't get up again, Yuancheng and they are gone, you will be empty of bamboo baskets!" Seeing that Bai Xiao didn't react, Steward Qiu couldn't help but quip.
"Yes, yes, yes" Bai Xiao really had a little headache, plus detachment. He was lying on his stomach on the ground.
"Drink"
took the kettle of Steward Qiu, poured a few sips, and saw Qiu Yuancheng walking to a few children.
"You have two hours to say goodbye, and from now on you will embark on the road of cultivating immortals, and life and death will depend on your fate!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Qiu!" the boys and girls shouted happily.
"My surname is Lu!You can call me Senior Brother Lu!" Lu Han walked up to Bai Xiao and raised his hand.
"My name is Bai Xiao! Thank you, Senior Brother Lu," he said, standing up and thanking him.
"You're the first to cheat in the introductory tryout!"
"Senior Brother Lu's eyes are so good!" Bai Xiao couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Seeing Lu Han leave, Bai Xiao turned to look at Steward Qiu, although they had been together for less than two days, they could feel a little warmth in the old man. I'm about to leave here, and I don't know what to say.
"Haha! my twenty taels of silver are for nothing!" the old man still smiled.
"Uncle Qiu, thank you!" Bai Xiao looked at him slightly, as if he was talking to someone else. Qiu Bo nodded and patted the dirt off Bai Xiao's clothes. It's like a pair of grandchildren in the sun!
