Chapter 17: Seeking Immortals
This tiger boy is Ye Tian, since he separated from Hu Ling'er, he traveled all the way west, slept in the open air, caught some beasts to barbecue and eat when he was hungry, and found a secluded place to lie down when he was tired, thousands of miles away, never met the terrifying monster again, and there were spirit demon friends on the road as companions, and he came to the foot of Kunlun easily and happily. This white-fronted tiger is really unlucky, who is not good at robbing the way, robbing the way of this little ancestor, suffering from the old fist and several big teeth, not to mention, seeing this little life is even an explanation.
After all, Fulai Liquor Store is located at the foot of Xianshan Mountain, and everyone in the store either has some background or some ability, after a short period of chaos, after everyone saw that it was just a mountain boy carrying a big tiger, the small liquor shop regained its calm.
Ye Tian saw that everyone was looking at him blankly, and the little second brother in front of him looked even more dumbfounded and weird, so he repeated again: "Little second brother, I'll exchange this tiger for you some salt, it's okay." ”
"Oh, it's Brother Wang, the money you owe to our store will be settled today. Xiao Er and the fat shopkeeper not far away are all good characters, although they were surprised, but it did not affect their reaction speed, how can the big pie that fell from the sky not be occupied, before everyone reacted, Xiao'er shouted to push Ye Tian to the back hall, and the fat shopkeeper was shining with huge ingots in his eyes, and he followed behind.
Just kidding, the white-fronted tiger is a good thing, just say that there is no scar on this tiger, the price of the tiger skin can reach hundreds of taels of silver, not to mention the live tiger, you know, Qin Jun is still martial, and the royal flag is embroidered with a black tiger.
"Little brother, are you a newcomer to the local area?" asked with a smile on his eyes.
"Yes. Ye Tian nodded.
"Hehe, we are at the feet of the gods, and we are the most kind in business, you tiger is cheap. The fat shopkeeper swayed over.
"Uh......" Ye Tian's eyes blinked, and he scratched his head. Since he came out of Kucang, he has always been self-sufficient, and it was only recently that the salt ran out, and he came up with the idea of bartering, but he didn't expect that he would be a kind person when he first made it, and Ye Tian was moved......
The fat shopkeeper said, "You big tiger, you have more than one bag of salt." ”
"yes, yes. The child echoed.
"Uncle, what's the price?" Ye Tian put the big tiger on the ground and asked gratefully.
"I have to add another ten baht, that is, one or two lines of silver, which is the price. The fat shopkeeper looked sincere. In Qin, the conversion of currency is like this, 100 baht is one hang, and ten hangs is one or two pieces of silver.
After such a deception, Ye Tianna, a child in the mountains, immediately connected with his small head and agreed to the transaction. Taking a child's fart to get the money and baht, Ye Tian asked the fat shopkeeper: "Uncle, may I ask, I want to worship Kunlun to seek immortals, how to seek the law." ”
The fat shopkeeper was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you can be regarded as asking the right person." Kunlun Immortal Mountain recruits apprentices at this time of year every year, and this recruit is divided into two categories: Dengxian and Xianxian, the so-called Dengxian is dedicated to the nobles of the world, as long as you pay a thousand taels of silver every year, you can enter," the fat shopkeeper looked at Ye Tian, and said: "I see that the little brother's financial resources are mediocre, or don't choose Dengxian, as for the selection of immortals, it is in the selection of immortals, the immortals who come down from the fairy mountain are personally in charge, and the immortals who have the immortal fate are selected to enter the fairy mountain." ”
"Thank you, uncle, where is the Immortal Courtyard?"
"Xuanxian Temple and Dengxian Temple are located in one place, and the town goes north, and it can be seen about fifty miles away. ”
As he spoke, Xiao'er sent the burden containing ten hangs, that is, a thousand coins and a bag of salt, and these ten strings of a thousand coins and baht were loaded into it, which was bigger than half of Ye Tian's back, and Ye Tian happily took the heavy burden, thanked these two big fools, and went straight to Kunlun Xuanxian Courtyard.
Out of Yingxian Town, the towering Kunlun Immortal Mountain is in front of you, the endless verdant mountains, the snow-capped peaks that go straight into the clouds, Ye Tian can't help but feel a big sigh, he let out a long roar, and ran forward.
Along the way, there was an endless stream of immortal seekers going to the Second Courtyard, or groups of nobles from all over the world who drove horses and camels, or young men who were looking for immortals alone, or Kunlun mountain people who did some business along the way, decorating an ordinary mountain road with excitement.
Ye Tian's meat skirt fluttered, carrying two big burdens on his back, and he was dressed in a single dress, which was very eye-catching. He didn't care about any of this, he just ran wildly. Suddenly, a figure on the side of the road came into Ye Tian's eyes: this was a sloppy old road, thin as a hemp pole body wrapped in a wide road robe with the same wrinkled dark skin as him, the robe was full of patches, he was drunken leaning against the old tree on the side of the road to nap, and the dried wine gourd was lying next to him casually.
Ye Tian's heart warmed, and the familiar figure instantly appeared in front of him, the back of Xiao Suo, who was hungover in the Kuocang hut.
Those concerned eyes, I don't know where they are now.
Master, I miss you so much......
Ye Tian stood beside this drunken Taoist for a long time, and the thick thoughts in his chest were rolling again at this moment, and his eyes were moist at some point. He untied a fat roast pork leg from his waist, which he had just roasted this morning, ready for a day's rations, he gently put the pork leg next to Lao Dao, and then paused, untied the burden, took out five hanging baht, and put it next to Lao Dao. And Lao Dao seemed to be asleep, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.
Ye Tian turned around and continued to run, and the small back soon disappeared into the crowd.
After a while, the old man opened his eyes slightly, and a light flashed in the corner of his eye.
Xuanxian Courtyard is next to Dengxian Courtyard, the two courtyards are built according to the mountain, the architectural style is different from the other countries, quite some of the style of the northern Hu country: sand-yellow walls, flat roofs, square shapes, square doors and windows, on the plaque at the gate, the dragon and the phoenix dance is the ancient seal of "Choosing Immortals" and "Dengxian".
Ye Tian looked at it for a while, and then he wanted to enter the Xuanxian Courtyard, but he didn't want to, but he was stopped by a young man in a sword suit in front of the door, this young man was dressed in blue, with a gorgeous long sword with a handle on his back, and the cuffs were embroidered with gold thread with the words "Kunlun Zaihou".
"Boy, rules. The young man said coldly.
"Rules?" Ye Tian scratched his head.
The young man rolled his eyes and said with an endorsement: "Those who are not related to immortals are not allowed to be selected into the Immortal Academy, and those who are not included in the hospital fee are not allowed to be selected into the Immortal Academy." ”
"Admission fee...... Uh, it's baht, I have it, how much?"
"A tael of silver. ”
Ye Tian was dumbfounded, he just knew the amount of money and silver that he had ten hanging baht, which was enough for one or two pieces of silver, but he had just sent out five hangings.
"This eldest brother, I am also a bit immortal, my master once said that I have the realm of detachment. ”
"A tael of silver. ”
"This big brother, my Kuocang Sword Technique is indeed extraordinary, otherwise, I'll show you. ”
"A tael of silver!"
"This big brother, I...... This is a bit of meat, can you get some baht? ”
"A tael of silver!"
Ye Tiandu was about to cry, and he traveled thousands of miles to Kunlun to find immortals, but he didn't want to, but in the end he was defeated by one or two lines of silver.
Ye Tianzheng hesitated, a strong smell of wine came from his side, he looked along the smell of wine, it turned out to be the drunk old way.
"Uncle Shi......" The young man bowed slightly, but his expression was still arrogant.
"I ...... Uh......" Lao Dao burped heavily and said to the young man: "I am short of a miscellaneous man who chops wood and burns fire......" He looked at Ye Tian: "Lao Dao is in charge of the room of the Kunlun Tu Ling Zai Hou Courtyard, boy, would you like to go to me?"
"Yes, yes. Ye Tian only asked to worship Kunlun, but he didn't mind chopping wood and burning fire, originally when he was in Kucang, he also chopped wood to burn the fire and boil and wash.
"That's fine, boy, come with me. The old man staggered and turned around and left.
Ye Tian hurriedly followed, after the old road turned around, the mountain road was inaccessible, and gradually rugged, Ye Tian saw that the old road was staggering and faltering, and he didn't see how the speed was really not slow, he could keep up with it after a trot.
"Boy, where are you from?" asked the old man.
"Kuocang Mountain. ”
"Kuo Cang...... You just said, your sword trick is called the Kuocang Sword Technique?"
"Yes. ”
"Is it a sword trick ......?"
