"Uncle's!"

Xu Chen scolded while strolling through the streets of the capital at dusk.

Although Lu Yin was polite again and again, Xu Chen still didn't let the other party give him a ride, because he didn't know where he lived.

Walking aimlessly on unfamiliar city streets will always give people an inexplicable pressure, not the strange gaze of passers-by, but the feeling of wandering.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky was getting dark, and the lights were on.

In this imperial capital, even if it is late at night, it will be noisy and abnormal, and the green buildings of the casino, the lights are bright, and it is full of an atmosphere that makes Xu Chen feel erosive.

Think about Yong'an Town, where I was born, where there will never be such a scene, as soon as the sky is dark, the streets of Yong'an Town will be empty, and there will not even be a single shop.

In fact, contrast is missing, and missing is another kind of expectation.

Maybe he was tired of shopping after all, or maybe the night in the capital was not so attractive in the first place, Xu Chen stayed in an inconspicuous inn.

This inn is very ordinary, as ordinary as him, a foreigner, but it has a very special name - Wangxiang.

Everything must be considered in the long run, and nothing can be rushed. Therefore, Xu Chen paid a month's rent at the beginning.

The shopkeeper of the inn saw that there was a local tyrant coming, so he was naturally very attentive, and arranged a side room for him, which would be much quieter, and Xu Chen was also very satisfied.

In the first few days of living in the Wangxiang Inn, Xu Chen didn't go out much, first, it was too noisy outside, and second, he didn't know where to inquire about the news of the Dushan Sect.

Therefore, in addition to cultivating in the room, Xu Chen would only ask for a pot of tea and sit quietly in a corner of the hall on the first floor of the inn.

Until one day, maybe the business of the inn was relatively cold, or the shopkeeper was a little interested in this local tyrant boy, so he politely came to Xu Chen and talked casually.

The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to serve a pot of high-quality "Biluochun", sat opposite Xu Chen with a smile, and said softly: "You are a student who is rushing for the exam?"

Xu Chen was already idle and bored, and it was a good thing that someone came over to chat, and he could learn about the situation in the capital from the shopkeeper's mouth, so he was not disgusted, he shook his head politely and said, "Oh, no!"

"Oh, then I see that you don't go out every day, I thought you were studying hard all night in your room!

After speaking, the shopkeeper smiled heartily, and his expression was extremely kind.

Xu Chen also had a good impression of the shopkeeper, and asked softly: "Could it be that there is a imperial examination this year?"

"Oh! not this year!"

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "But there will be next year, it seems that you are really not a student who rushes to take the exam, this imperial examination is held once every four years, but many students in remote places come a few years in advance for this dynasty, and some continue to stay hard without taking the exam, and there are several in my store, one of whom is in his fifties, and has been in the capital for more than ten years!"

The shopkeeper talked with relish, probably because he rarely chatted, and when he saw someone willing to listen to him talk about some interesting things about the capital, he poured beans into a bamboo tube.

When it comes to the scene of the imperial examination, it is an extreme exaggeration, depicting the scene extremely strong.

Just as Xu Chen was listening with relish, the shopkeeper's words actually aroused Xu Chen's greater interest, "The grandeur of that scene can only be compared with the disciples recruited by the Mountain Sect." ”

"Dushan Sect?"

Xu Chen's nerve was provoked, and he asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper, you said that the scene of the Dushan Sect is also very big?"

The old shopkeeper saw that Xu Chen was quite interested in the Dushan Sect, so he led the topic to the Dushan Sect again, "How can you say that it is very big? It is quite big, even a few points bigger than the scene of the imperial examination." ”

Xu Chen didn't know if the shopkeeper thought he was interested in Dushan Sect so he said this, but since the other party had some understanding, he might as well listen to it.

The vast majority of people like to show their knowledge, and the old shopkeeper can't stop at all, and he rarely picks up the tea bowl in his hand, and only takes a sip in a hurry when his mouth is dry.

Although the imperial examination is very good, don't some people say that the imperial examination is just a game for the imperial court to fool nerds? But the Dushan Sect is by no means it, I heard my father's generation say ......

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's voice was slightly lower, as if he was afraid of being heard, "Our current royal family relied on the Dushan Sect to conquer the world back then, and I don't know if it's true, but the status of the Dushan Sect is definitely this." ”

Saying that, the old shopkeeper gave a thumbs up, "Some people even say that this Dushan Sect is the Dushan Sect of the imperial court, and some people say that this court is the court of the Dushan Sect, think about it!" The old shopkeeper's face was full of pride.

"Oh?"

Xu Chen's expression was surprised, he didn't expect this shopkeeper to know so much about the Dushan Sect, and asked softly: "The shopkeeper! Didn't you say that the Dushan Sect is very mysterious, how do you know so much?"

"Haha!"

The shopkeeper haha, leaned his back heavily on the back of the chair, and said proudly: "You don't know anything about this! The world says that the Duishan Sect is mysterious, but in fact, it is just a random speculation by people who have never been to the capital, and the Duishan Sect is on the Hexagram Mountain outside the city, what is mysterious, otherwise the people who will tell you these are not the Duishan Sect, but the Blue Kite Pavilion." ”

"Blue Kite Pavilion?"

Xu Chen had never heard of this name, "What kind of place is that?"

"That's also from the Mountain Sect, but I don't know exactly what the place is, otherwise how would it be said to be mysterious!" The shopkeeper spread his hands, very helpless.

"Oh!"

Xu Chen nodded and continued to ask, "Old shopkeeper, is it difficult to be admitted to the Dushan Sect?"

"Then you don't need to ask! Of course it's hard!"

The shopkeeper's expression was undeniable, "This imperial examination is held every four years, but the Dushan Sect only recruits disciples once every six years, you say that it is not difficult, and the proportion charged is very low, which is lower than the proportion of people raised in the examination!"

As he spoke, the old shopkeeper sighed, as if he had endless emotion, and said leisurely: "But these years are not like before, the children of rich families and the children of official eunuchs will enter the back door after walking, and they will not be the same!"

Xu Chen nodded silently, "Then, will the Dushan Sect recruit disciples recently?"

"Huh?

The shopkeeper looked at Xu Chen in surprise, and said a little incredulously: "Impossible, that is not the person who can be entered by ordinary people, and the person who can be favored by the Dushan Sect, that is not one in a thousand, but one in a thousand miles! ”

Xu Chen looked at the shopkeeper's slightly meaningful expression, and did not speak, but continued to listen carefully.

The shopkeeper cleared his throat, looked at Xu Chen solemnly and said: "The reason why the imperial examination is big is because there are many candidates, and the Dushan Sect recruits disciples, that is because there are many visitors, dignitaries, princes and grandchildren will go to see it, because those disciples may be half-immortal in the future, if they can get involved, won't they also strengthen their own strength!" This time, he didn't smile, as if the relationship was extremely complicated, and it was not allowed to be talked about casually.

"Oh!"

Xu Chen was a little stupid when he heard this, and said leisurely: "That's really amazing!, will the Dushan Sect recruit disciples this year?"

At this time, a junior called the shopkeeper, as if there was something to deal with.

The shopkeeper got up and whispered, "You want to see it! Then you are late, you just recruited once the year before last, if you look at it, it will be four years later." ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper politely hugged his fist, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the little er.

"Four years!"

Xu Chen felt a little stunned in his heart, "If I really wait for four years, then wouldn't I ...... Alas!" a long sigh, full of disappointment.

The pedestrians outside the window hurried by, Xu Chen didn't know what they were running for, everyone's faces were full of joy and energy, but he himself didn't know what to do at this moment.

Just when Xu Chen was extremely depressed, a somewhat familiar voice sounded, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Although he was somewhat familiar, Xu Chen didn't have any acquaintances in the capital, so he didn't react at all.

It wasn't until he was slapped the back that he turned around smartly to see that a young man with a similar figure to himself was looking at him stupidly, yes, he was a little stupid.

This young man has a delicate face, fair skin, and the clothes on his body are also extremely luxurious, with a black brocade gown, and the collar and cuffs are embroidered with gold threads.

"Who are you?"

Although Xu Chen didn't like being photographed at will, he didn't know the identity of the other party, so he didn't dare to attack at will.

"Don't you know?"

The young man seemed extremely dissatisfied with Xu Chen's realization.

Xu Chen looked left and right and still didn't recognize it, he was the first time to come to the capital, he didn't have any acquaintances here, plus the other party's familiar face, he was quite unsoaked, so he said coldly: "I'm sorry! I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person!"

"Did I recognize the wrong person?"

The young man seemed to be even more angry than Xu Chen, "That biaozi wanted to buy ...... with a thousand taels that day."

Before the young man could finish speaking, Xu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, his nerves seemed to be stirred by something, and he opened his mouth wide and said, "It's you?"

"Yes, it's me!what's the matter, you can't recognize it when you're handsome?" the boy squirmed his hair from the side.

"You uncle! How dare you come to me. ”

As he spoke, Xu Chen had already gotten up, and the fist in his hand had already been raised.

It turned out that this young man who looked like a boy was the black-faced boy who set up a stall to sell wooden gadgets that day, because he was fair-skinned and gorgeously dressed at this time, and his appearance had completely changed, so Xu Chen didn't recognize it at first.

However, once he recognized it, the anger that he had almost forgotten kept burning, and he had to enter the number on the first day he came to the capital, how could he swallow this breath.

"Hey, you've been!"

The young man frowned, and said helplessly: "I didn't mean it at the time, besides, if I hadn't sent someone to fish you out, you would still be picking your feet inside!"

They are all young and vigorous years, and the teenagers naturally do not show weakness.

But where was Xu Chen willing to let him go, learning from the appearance of the official at that time, he grabbed the young man's collar, "Your uncle!"

"Stop!"

The young man locked his neck and said loudly: "You can scold me, I am not angry, who made you my confidant? But you can't scold my uncle, because his temper is not as good as mine." ”

Xu Chen just wanted to scold something more.

But I only heard the boy say, "Okay! I'll do you another favor, and that thing will be over!"

Xu Chen said coldly: "Sister, what do I need your help with?" ”

"Why not, don't you want to enter the Dushan Sect?"

The young man's saliva splashed everywhere, and it was almost sprayed on Xu Chen's face.

"Oh, can you help me?" Xu Chen's hand slowly let go, and he looked at the young man's cheeks incredulously, although he was underwhelmed, but there was some sincerity.

However, Xu Chen didn't expect that as soon as his hand was released, the young man took the opportunity to punch Xu Chen's stomach.

"Cut! I'll fight too, and I'll never tire of cheating!"
