Huolin Town is located in the middle of Wei Chenguo, close to the national capital Jinling City, and the official road has continuous business travel all the year round, which has also created the prosperity of Huolin Town's wine shops, and some wealthy merchants in Jinling City have built inns in Huolin Town for passing merchants to rest and stay.

Over the years, some large and small families in Huolin Town have also quietly risen, and the business competition in the town has become more and more fierce.

The restaurant is one of the important industries of all sizes in Huolin Town, so as the small steward of the restaurant, the right to say that it is not big or small, and it is said that it is a small steward, in fact, in addition to the food and income expenditure of the restaurant, the rest of the things need to be handled by the small steward inside and out.

Therefore, Zhang Yan's cousin Zhang Wu is also quite popular in Huolin Town and nearby towns, and the restaurant "Laifu Inn" where he is located is second to none in Huolin Town.

In the afternoon, a horse-drawn carriage galloped in from the official road outside the town, galloped through the streets of the center of Huolin Town, and stopped in front of the "Rifle Inn".

It was Zhang Yan and his cousin's carriage.

Zhang Yan and his cousin Zhang Wu got down from the carriage and looked at everything in the town curiously, the carriages coming and going in the town, the noisy hawking in the town, and the majestic restaurants on both sides, which Zhang Yan had never seen since he was a child, made him full of curiosity, and couldn't help but look at it for a while.

"Big head, follow me in first, and then there will be a chance, and then my cousin will take you around." Zhang Wu couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Yan's curious appearance.

"Good. Zhang Yan came back to his senses and followed Zhang Wu into the inn.

"Fifth brother. ”

"Fifth brother, you're here. ”

"Fifth brother, who is this little guy behind you, it's not dark. ”

...... A few young men from the inn greeted Zhang Wulai with Zhang Yan in a noisy manner.

"Work hard, it's nothing to do with you. Zhang Wu waved his big hand and said with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yan followed Zhang Wu to the house where he lived in the backyard of the inn, which was quiet inside, and the noise outside also disappeared.

"Cousin, have you heard that there are any Xianshan sects nearby?" Before Zhang Yan could sit down, he suddenly asked his cousin Zhang Wu.

"Big head, why are you asking this?" Zhang Wu had a surprised expression, about the Xianshan Sect, there are few people in the world who know about its existence, how did Big Head know about it.

"Cousin, I want to enter the Immortal Mountain Sect to cultivate, and I hope that I can become an immortal one day. Zhang Yan said very seriously, looking at Zhang Wu expectantly.

"There is an immortal mountain sect in Wei Chen's country, the Beiyuan Gate, which will issue a certain number of places to the worldly places of the entire Wei Chen country every two years, recruiting young people under the age of fifteen to enter the mountain gate, and if they pass the assessment, they will officially become immortal disciples. Seeing Zhang Yan's expectant gaze, it didn't seem to be a joke, Zhang Wu could only patiently explain, "As for the quota allocated to us in Huolin Town, it is only a dozen places, but the distribution of that quota is in the hands of Zheng Yuanwai of Huolin Mansion, this entry into the Xianshan Sect, who doesn't squeeze their heads and want their heirs to enter?"

"Then cousin, can we fight for that spot?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhang Wu hopefully.

"Alas, that's it, anyway, cousin, I have no children under my knees now, looking at the way you look forward to it, it just so happens that Beiyuanshan will send someone to pick up the designated candidate in three months, and tomorrow I will take you to Zheng Yuanwaifu to see if I can ask the old man for a place." Zhang Wu sighed, and then said with a serious face, "But big head, although my cousin and Zheng Yuanwai are also old friends, but it may not be possible, after all, this child who has entered Xianshan, which one does not want his heir to enter, which one does not have a big backer, if not, you will forget about it, honestly work with your cousin in the restaurant, don't let your parents down." ”

"Cousin, don't worry, I can save it, if it doesn't work, I will break the immortal thoughts, and follow my cousin to make a career here. Zhang Yan said solemnly.

"That's good, you have a good rest first, and I'll take you over to meet Zheng Yuanwai tomorrow, all the places saved are occupied, and it's useless to talk about it then." Zhang Wuda waved his hand, patted Zhang Yan's shoulder, and strode out.

Zhang Yan subconsciously touched out the piece of jade that was close to his waist, the jade was still so pure, except for a trace of fluorescence, there was no longer a trace of flaw.

"Daddy, where are you, why did you leave your children behind?"

In the quiet backyard, Zhang Yan sat alone in the yard, staring blankly at the sky.

Early the next morning, as soon as the day dawned, Zhang Yan had already gotten up, quietly waiting for his cousin Zhang Wu in the backyard, when he saw Zhang Wu coming, he stood up suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Ha Luha, good boy, get up so early, go, cousin will take you to try to get a place. Zhang Wu said with a smile and took Zhang Yan out of the inn.

Huolin Mansion is located in the north of Huolin Town, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, and the huge mansion is very lively at the moment.

At the gate of the mansion, guests come in and out, and there are nearly dozens of luxury carriages parked at the gate.

Zhang Yan and his cousin Zhang Wu came here, and when they saw this battle, Zhang Wu's heart couldn't help but burst, it seems that there are really a lot of people who come to ask for this place today, and they are all people from big families.

Zhang Wuyin had a gloomy face and walked towards the door with Zhang Yan.

Today's pick-up at the mansion was Cheng Ren, the housekeeper of Huolin Mansion, who first saw Zhang Yan looking like a rustic hillbilly entering the city, his face was dark, and he was about to scold and drive away, but he happened to see Zhang Wu with a gloomy face next to him, and a flattering smile was instantly piled up on his face.

"Fifth master, what kind of wind blew you here today!" Cheng Ren said with a smile on his face, looking at Zhang Wu's gloomy face, but his heart was sudden, outsiders didn't know Zhang Wu's real identity, but he knew very well, on the surface he was just a small steward of the restaurant, but in fact, his other identity was the third leader of the Blood Dragon Gang in the power of several gangs within a radius of 100 miles.

"Steward Cheng, why is the house so lively today, and you still have to come to greet the guests in person?" Zhang Wu stopped and asked with a gloomy face.

"This is not because of the quota of the immortals in Beiyuan Mountain, and now the quota has not been decided, so people from all the big and small families in Huolin Town and nearby have come to ask for a quota for their juniors. ”

Steward Cheng explained cautiously, and then said, "Fifth master, go and sit in first, the master is still in the guest room with an important guest, everyone is waiting in the hall, I will show you the way." ”

Zhang Wu pulled Zhang Yan to follow behind, how he didn't understand the deep meaning of Cheng Ren's later words, but he didn't break it.

The hall of the Zheng Mansion was already full of people at this time, and the dozen or so middle-aged people sitting on the left and right sides of the center of the hall were extremely conspicuous.

Behind each of them stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, but almost all of them looked arrogant, but between the arrogance, their expressions faintly revealed anticipation and excitement, obviously understanding that if they could enter the eyes of the immortals and enter the mountain gate, it would be infinite scenery, and more importantly, they would have the opportunity to achieve the dream of the immortals.

At the moment when Zhang Yan and Zhang Wu came in, almost everyone looked back, they were all surprised, most of them didn't know Zhang Wu, and when they saw Zhang Yan looking like a dirt bun, they couldn't help but look at Steward Cheng suspiciously.

However, the local family in Huolin Town was still familiar with Zhang Wu, so they all got up to say hello.

Steward Cheng didn't explain, and turned around and walked out of the hall.

Zhang Wu ignored the surprise of others, and took Zhang Yan to find a place to sit down.

"Brother Fang, I don't know which family this belongs to?" asked a middle-aged man with a white face and a black mole on the corner of his mouth to another middle-aged man beside him.

This middle-aged man with a black mole is Yang Qian, a well-known salt merchant in Huolin Town, but his family has already moved to Jinling City, but his hometown is still in Huolin Town, so today he came with his son to ask for a place as an immortal disciple.

"It turned out to be Brother Yang, the person who came in is called Zhang Wu, and he is the current little steward of the Fu Inn in the town, but I don't know what he is doing today with a rustic little guy, won't he also come to ask for a quota?"

Much of this discussion was whispered throughout the hall.

"Hmph, a soil bun also wants to be an immortal disciple, how can I, Yang Luo, be in the company of such a person. At this time, the young man behind Yang Qian suddenly spoke, and the young man's clear voice spread throughout the hall.

The hall was instantly quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look at the young man, and then glanced at Zhang Wu and Zhang Yan who were sitting in the corner of the hall, and they all fell silent, looking like they were waiting to watch the play.

The other young men who were standing looked at Zhang Yan's swarthy face and rustic clothes, all of them showing a look of disdain.

And Yang Qian ignored the sudden voice of his son behind him and fell silent.

Zhang Wu's originally gloomy face suddenly calmed down, he glanced up at the young man, then turned his head to Fang Shen and smiled and nodded, and lowered his eyelids again, ignoring everyone.

But Zhang Yan couldn't calm down, because he himself let his cousin be ridiculed by the red fruit in everyone's eyes at this moment, he clenched his fists, his face turned red, and looked up at the young man.

However, seeing that the cousin next to him was still calmly sipping tea, Zhang Yan lowered his head again.

"Whether it is the world or cultivating immortals, when there is no need, try not to fight with others. Zhang Yan remembered what the master had said to him, and the whole person gradually calmed down.

"Hillbilly, what do you see, today is the selection of immortal disciples, you also want to enter the eye of immortals when you come from the mountains?" Seeing that Zhang Yan actually raised his head and looked at himself with angry eyes, the young man Yang Luo suddenly said ruthlessly, "What, you are not convinced by this dirt bun?

"Smack!"

A loud slap suddenly sounded in the hall, and when everyone reacted, Yang Luo, who was originally arrogant, had already fallen to the ground, covering his mouth with one hand, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and two front teeth were lost on the ground.

And where Yang Luo was originally standing, there was already a dark-faced young man, the young man's fists were tightly twisted, trembling slightly, his eyes seemed to be on fire, staring fiercely at Yang Luo who was sitting on the ground.

The hall was silent for an instant, the needle drop could be heard, almost no one could see how the young man made a move, everyone who was waiting to watch the play was shocked, and those teenagers who looked at Zhang Yan also put away their contempt.

And the most surprised was Zhang Wu, and when he reacted, Zhang Yan had already made a move. How did Zhang Yan have such skills? This made Zhang Wu puzzled.

"Little guy, although there are two hits, but you really should do it, don't you see your situation clearly?" Seeing that his son was actually slapped in public, Yang Qian couldn't sit still, stood up with a gloomy face, and an aura instantly emanated from his body, and the black mole at the corner of his mouth became even more dazzling, and he snorted coldly, "Come on, tie up this little beast." ”

"Oh, Your Excellency may be the one who didn't see the situation clearly, right?" Zhang Wu, who had been watching quietly, suddenly stood up, and a decisive momentum surged up, and a faint bloody aura of murder instantly spread to the hall, and the Yang family guards who originally rushed in froze, and everyone in the hall had a chill on their backs.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Yang Qian's face changed slightly at this moment, staring at Zhang Wu with a calm face, suppressing the anger in his heart and asking.

And the few people in the town who were familiar with Zhang Wu were all shocked.

"What's going on?" At this moment, an old man in a green robe walked from the back of the hall, with silver hair, no wrinkles on his face, and a long beard hanging on his chest.

"Master Zheng!" When everyone saw the old man, they all stood up one after another and bowed their hands slightly to the old man.

"Master Zheng came just in time, this little animal is beating people vividly, I was about to ......" Yang Qian's words were halfway through, but he was stopped by the old man raising his hand, and then I saw the old man walking towards Zhang Wu with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "It turned out that the fifth master came in person, I don't know what happened to the fifth master in person?

"Ha Luha, Master Zheng is polite, the old man is very tough, and I am here today mainly for my little cousin. Zhang Wu pointed at Zhang Yan and said with a smile to Zheng Yuanwai.

"Zheng Yuan, don't be so troublesome, this dark-faced little guy will be counted as a quota, and I will screen the rest myself. ”

At that moment, a magnificent voice filled the hall, and it gave people a sense of etherealism.

Zheng Yuanwai was shocked, turned to the direction behind the hall and said respectfully: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the Great Immortal." ”

Everyone in the hall was shocked, looking at Zheng Yuanwai's momentum, it turned out that a great immortal came up from the Zheng Mansion, and they all showed a respectful look in an instant, and all kinds of thoughts in everyone's hearts were put away, and the young people who were standing also put away their arrogant expressions and replaced them with excitement.

"Thank you Daxian for your success. Zhang Wu, who was the first to react, was overjoyed on his face, and said respectfully in the direction behind the hall, "Big head, I haven't come to thank Daxian yet." ”

Zhang Yan had no choice but to bow respectfully in that direction.

But the immortal didn't show up, but just asked the other teenagers to go to the back of the hall together, including Yang Luo, who was slapped to the ground by Zhang Yan.

Since the immortals had agreed in person, Zhang Wu did not stay any longer, said goodbye to Zheng Yuanwai, and took Zhang Yan out of Zheng's mansion.
