Chapter 68: The Maiden's Request
I saw a plain hand stretched out from the carriage, slowly opened the curtain, and then a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl walked out.
The girl has a small melon seed face, wears many kinds of beaded hairpins on her head, and wears a white gauze skirt.
Jumping lightly out of the carriage, the girl's toes tapped, and her eyebrows and eyes flashed as if she could speak.
Although the girl looks only twelve or thirteen years old, her figure has begun to take shape, as if she is a beautiful embryo that came out of the painting, and she will definitely be the national color in the future.
"Uncle Wang, is this where he is practicing?" the girl's lips opened slightly.
"I heard from my family that this is the place, but even if we get here, we may not be able to enter, except for a few specific people in this village, others can't enter," the old servant known as Uncle Wang said with a sad face.
"Is there really no other way?" the girl asked Uncle Wang, looking at the tall and mysterious foggy mountain in front of her.
Uncle Wang stood behind the girl and said, "Miss Hui, the Fog Gate is a place of cultivation, if you are not a person from the Fog Gate, even ordinary cultivators are not qualified to enter easily."
"Then what if I want to join the Fog Gate?" the girl stared at the Foggy Mountain firmly.
"Miss means that she wants to join the Wumen cultivation first, and then ......," Uncle Wang realized.
"Uncle Wang, what are the rules for recruiting disciples in this fog gate, is there any way for me to join the fog gate?"
"Miss Hui, although the old servant doesn't know any good way, according to the people in the family, you can ask the person in charge of this village, maybe you will have some ideas."
Although the village was deserted, there were still a few people, and the girl and Uncle Wang knew the location of the person in charge of the village after asking a few people.
The person in charge of the village was an old man with bearded hair, who was sitting at a table looking at a ledger with several unfinished ledgers in his hand.
"You are the steward of this village?" asked the girl and Uncle Wang as they entered the house.
The bearded elder glanced up at the maiden and the old servant, and then continued to look at the account book in his hand.
The two were ignored by the elders, Uncle Wang was slightly angry, and asked again: "Didn't you hear our question, are you the steward here?"
The elderly should continue to look at the account books.
Uncle Wang said: "Do you know where we come from, what kind of identity we are, dare to treat us like this, your behavior will bring you trouble"
The elder still continues to look at the account books.
Seeing that the old man with a beard ignored them several times, Uncle Wang became more and more angry, and he even stepped forward to tear up the account book of the old man with a beard, but was stopped by the girl.
The girl said, "This elder, I apologize for the servant's previous behavior, and ask the elder to forgive us for our rudeness."
"The little girl is not talented, she is from the country of Changfeng, and she has traveled not far to come here, just to enter the fog gate to practice, I don't know if the elder can teach one or two" The girl apologized to the elder slightly.
"Changfeng Country, I heard that there is a Xinchang Hou in Changfeng Country, who has great military achievements, and is already a marquis at a young age, what do you think of this person?"
"How does he know?!" The girl and the old servant couldn't help but show shock on their faces when they heard the elder's words, and Uncle Wang also changed his previous arrogant attitude and looked more respectful to the elder.
Elder Sufa continued: "After many years, although this marquis has never been promoted, his military power is getting bigger and bigger, just because of the marriage he made with the royal family more than ten years ago."
The girl had already lost her face, and few people in the entire Changfeng Country knew about marrying the royal family, and even she herself only found out a few years ago.
She stared at the elder with wide eyes, who was this old man, and he even knew this.
"A few years ago, many royal princes gathered to discuss the succession of the lord, and finally under the operation of Xinchanghou, a little prince was appointed as the successor lord, but I didn't expect that the successor lord you chose left the entire Changfeng country on the eve of the succession and came to the Foggy Mountain," the elder said slowly.
The elder in front of her made the girl feel terrible, an outsider actually held so many unknown secrets of the Changfeng Country, but her family asked her to come to him Thinking that the elder should be a trustworthy person.
"The elder knows the origin of the little girl, and must also know what the little girl is doing here, and asks the elders to help" The girl was a lot more humble in the face of the elder, and bowed her hand.
The elder hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Although I can enter the Fog Gate, I can't take you in, unless you want to go in, unless you find a disciple or elder of the Fog Gate, let him take you in." ”
"The personal disciples of the Fog Gate are either practicing in the Foggy Mountains, or their whereabouts are erratic, and it is difficult for us to meet them at all, and even if we do, there is no good bargaining chip for the personal disciples of the Foggy Mountains to take us up the mountain."
The girl knew that the chance of meeting a disciple was too low, so she bowed to the elder again, "Please also ask the elder to help me."
"Well, that's it, maybe there's a way to try," the bearded elder looked at the girl again, and sighed softly.
"What way?" the girl and Uncle Wang looked forward to.
"Wait"
"Wait?" the girl and Uncle Wang were confused.
......
In the Misty Mountains, it never rains in the Misty Mountains because of the Misty Mountains formation, but the formation can only shelter the Foggy Mountains, and even the villages that are only a line away from it have not received the protection of the Misty Mountains Formation.
At this moment, the village at the foot of the Foggy Mountains is being baptized by rain.
The rain was falling down the eaves, making a continuous clicking sound, and the girl was standing alone at the foot of the Misty Mountains with an umbrella, and the girl was accompanied by only one old servant except for a carriage.
The girl looked into the distance, and her eyes looked full of persistence.
After a while, the rain became heavier, and Uncle Wang, who was accompanying him, said: "Miss, I'm afraid this rain will get heavier and heavier, you can go back first, and the old servant will just watch here."
"I heard that most of the cultivators are not interested in the mundane things of the mortal world, if we don't have this sincerity, we won't help us even if we meet them" The girl rejected Uncle Wang.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the corners of the girl's clothes were already stained with a lot of water, and the old servant was full of worry.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to see two figures moving rapidly in the distance, and she was so pleased that she threw down the umbrella in her hand and ran there.
"Miss, if you run like this, you will get drenched" Uncle Wang chased after him with an umbrella.
The two fast-moving figures are Jun Fanyu and Ah Li, who have been away from the fog gate for three years.
Jun Fanyu just felt a little strange when he saw someone standing in the rain at first, but when he saw the man throwing down the umbrella and running towards them, Jun Fanyu and Ah Li stopped.
Jun Fanyu and Ah Li didn't have umbrellas, but the rain didn't wet their clothes, and even their hair didn't have the slightest trace of being drenched by the rain.
"Two cultivators, please stay!" shouted the rain girl as she ran.
When the girl came to Jun Fanyu and Ah Li, her body was already wet.
"Are you calling us?" The moment he saw the girl, Jun Fanyu felt that the girl was very beautiful, not like the meaning of dust, she was a fairy who could eat fireworks in the world.
"Little girl, do you want to ask the two cultivators for help?" the girl gasped.
"What can you say?" asked Ah Li on the side, Jun Fanyu also looked at the girl curiously.
At this time, the old servant Uncle Wang came over and helped the girl hold the umbrella, but was pushed away by the girl, and the girl said: "The little girl's name is Xinxiang Hannu, from the country of Changfeng, and I want to ask two cultivators to take me to the Foggy Mountains." ”
Hearing the three words of Changfeng Country, Jun Fanyu remembered that Liu Ping seemed to be from Changfeng Country, could it be that he came to find Liu Ping?
"Why did you go to the Foggy Mountains, if you can't tell us why, we can't help you" Jun Fanyu wanted to know why Xinxiang Hannu went to the Foggy Mountains.
Xinxiang Hannu knew that if she didn't say it, Jun Fanyu and Ah Li would not take him to the Foggy Mountains, so they had to say truthfully: "I was originally the daughter of Xinchanghou of the Changfeng Country, and I made a marriage contract with the royal family of the Changfeng Country since I was a child, four years ago, the king of the Changfeng Country felt that his time was running out, and passed on the prestige of the lord of the country to the little prince at that time, but no one expected that on the eve of the successor of the lord, the little prince suddenly escaped from the Changfeng Country and came to the Foggy Mountains.
Originally, everyone has their own ambitions, and if the little prince is dedicated to practice, the royal family will naturally support it, but just over a year ago, the old lord died, and the princes of Changfeng Country began to fight for land and power. ”
