Chapter 174
174. Taking Apprentices
Shit, let him see it all!Wen Xi wanted to cry, but when she came out, she forgot to mentally scan to see if there was anyone nearby!
Wen Xi waved her hand and said, "Your aptitude is too poor, I won't accept you!" She didn't want to bring a tow bottle on the road, even Qinglan and Yuludai stayed in the space.
Hu Yan cried even harder when he heard it, and quickly kowtowed: "Please, old god, I will work hard!!"
He was crying so hard that Wen Xi couldn't bear to be moved, and asked, "What do you want to learn from immortality?"
Hu Yan was sobbing and said: "My sister is sick, I can save her by learning the magic method!"
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, looking at the teary-eyed child, her heart softened, her voice softened a little, and she sighed slightly: "Lead the way ahead."
Hu Yan was clever, so he immediately got up, pulled Wen Xi's sleeve and said, "Old Immortal, my sister is in the Heavenly King Temple in the east of the city!"
Tianwang Temple is also called Sanhou Temple and Sanwang Temple.According to legend, it is a temple built to worship the three brothers Yang Yinglong, Yang Yinghu and Yang Yingbao, the eighth grandson of Yang Ye in the Song Dynasty, who "unified 36 people and killed [-] seedlings".It's just that the Buddhist temples in Suzhou and Hangzhou are at their peak, but Tianwang Temple is gradually forgotten.This Tianwang Temple is located at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. It is already dilapidated. Weeds are overgrown in the courtyard, and most of the main hall has collapsed. When entering, there is a sour smell, and there is a puddle of rainwater in the middle. The cold wind is blowing inside. , Even beggars don't come to live.
Under the broken statue of the "Three Kings", in the haystack, lay a thin and dirty girl.He looked about six or seven years old in stature, very thin, with a dry and yellow complexion, and even his hair was yellow and unnutritive.The little girl's eyes were blurred and half-opened, and she coughed feebly, "Ahem, brother???"
Hu Yan ran over quickly, supported his sister's chest and said, "Xiaoyu, I invited the old god to come. You are saved!"
The little girl named Xiaoyu's eyes fell on Wen Xi's body involuntarily, her eyes were full of desire to survive, she stretched out a pair of skinny hands, and murmured: "Immortal??? Cough cough cough!" Then Another cough.
Wen Xi couldn't help feeling compassionate, coughing with phlegm and blood, most likely due to tuberculosis.Such a disease is almost terminally ill in such an era, and even the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital dare not say that it can be cured completely!
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "Nonsense, I can accept you as a registered disciple."
Hearing nonsense, the message immediately jumped with joy, and he quickly kowtowed three times, his excitement palpable: "The apprentice kowtowed to the master!"
"It's just—" Wen Xi changed the subject. "To be my disciple, you must follow me into the fairyland. From now on, you can't go out, can you do it?"
Hu Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at his sister with tears in his eyes, "I, I???"
Wen Xi smiled and said: "Your sister can go together, and I will have someone cure her, but it's the same. Once you go, you can't come back."
Hu Yan immediately smiled and said: "Disciple is willing! As long as I can be with my sister, I am willing to go anywhere!"
Hu Yu also said weakly, "As long as I can be with my brother."
space.Small bamboo building.
Qinglan blinked her little eyes, she was full of doubts when she saw a dirty boy behind her master and a frail girl who was carried on her back by the boy.
Hu Yan was so surprised that his eyes couldn't see it. The birds and flowers here are like the spring season, and there is a very good smell of flowers everywhere. One moment he was still in the Tianwang Temple, and the next moment he was in this paradise-like world!It's just incredible!
Wen Xi said: "I found you a medicine boy, but you have to cure his sister first."
Qinglan let out a oh, and immediately beamed with joy, went up to feel Hu Yu's pulse and said, "Consumption, this disease is not curable!"
Hu Yan's face turned pale immediately, and he whispered, "Sister Immortal, save my sister!"
"Sister Immortal?" Qing Lan was taken aback, looked at her master, and said with a smile, "What kind of an immortal am I? I help the Immortal Daoist make medicine! Your sister's illness is considered incurable outside. , but in the fairyland, it's nothing! But the body is weak and needs some time to recuperate!"
Hu Yan nodded quickly, grateful.
Everything is good in the space, but there are not many people, so it is boring.Nonsense is young and can be brainwashed.What's more, that girl Qing Lan always disliked the medicine garden being too small, and wanted to expand it, but she had more energy than she wanted, and Wen Xi's harvesting effect like locusts crossing the border with spiritual power was captured by Qing Lan without hesitation. Vetoed!Now these two half-old children came at the right time.
When she walked out of the space again, Wen Xi behaved herself, first scanned with mental power to make sure no one was there, and then dared to come out, and then walked towards the city gate swaggeringly.
There are also many Taoists in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area. Seeing the old Taoists with white hair and youthful face, they were all surprised. Many people in the queue at the front gave way to Wen Xi. Saying "thank you", attracted countless people around to watch.
Wen Xi took out the Taoist certificate from her bosom and handed it to the gatekeeper, swept the dust in her hand, and Lang Sheng said: "Infinite Life Buddha! Shanren is a casual cultivator, and his Taoist name is Yuanxizi."
The gatekeeper looked at Wen Xi's silver hair and a face as white as jade, and was already speechless in astonishment, so how could he care about the ultimatum?The mouth was so wide that it could barely close an egg.
Wen Xi glanced at the tall gatekeeper in front of him, and said with a smile: "This little brother is strong, if he can avoid going to the brothel Chu Pavilion, it will be more beneficial to prolong life and increase happiness." This is also Wen Xi's mental strength One of the great benefits of growth is that the mental power has been scanned, just like an X-ray, where the body is not good, you can "see" where it is black, the person in front of you looks tall and strong, but in fact the inside is hollow For the most part, the kidneys have been entangled with a circle of black air, and if this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to live for a few years.
When the gatekeeper heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.Another dark-skinned soldier bumped him with an elbow, and said, "I told you not to go to Hongying Pavilion, Fei Yinzi didn't say anything, be careful to die on a woman's belly!"
Wen Xi laughed and said, "Has Shanren passed by? There are still people waiting behind."
The soldier guarding the gate nodded quickly, and Wen Xi waved the dust fly, and the ultimatum in the soldier's hand suddenly flew up, flew into Wen Xi's sleeve, and then floated away under the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Immortal! What an immortal!" After a long time, the exclamation of countless people burst out from behind.
Wen Xi is proud of herself. Although the mental power is completely incomparable in the space and outside the space, it is not a problem to move some small things with mental power!It's just that after walking out for a long time, Wen Xi couldn't be happy anymore. After all, this body is pampered, and after walking for two miles, her legs and feet became so weak!
On the way, I stopped at a tea shop and asked about the way. There seemed to be a horse farm ahead. Wen Xi couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this, and wanted to find some horses. There is a large grassland in the space.
The name of the horse farm Zhuangzi is also very common. It is called Ma Zhuang. The owner of the farm happens to have a surname of Ma, and he raises and sells horses. There is a clean horse farm inside, with two to three hundred horses. Compared with the horses when we went to Mulan, most of them are coolie horses pulling carts, and some have good endurance.Wen Xi was a little disappointed when she saw it, so she had to choose four or five horses at random. The total cost was only 100 taels of silver. The saddles were all included, and the horseshoes were all ordered in advance. The service quality was very good.Anyway, the space has a great optimization effect on animals and plants, let's put it in and optimize it.
A bay red horse with good stamina and gentle temperament was kept, and the rest were sent to the space grassland. Wen Xi rode on the horse, and drove the horse slowly all the way, which was much faster than walking on two legs.
According to the road inquired in advance, we arrived at a small Taoist temple in the evening.Wen Xi has a certificate in hand, so naturally she can spend the night in any Taoist temple in the world.This place is called Qiongshan County, and there is a small Taoist temple named Qiongshan Temple, which is a little dilapidated, Wen Xi handed over the certificate, and the little Taoist priest guarding the gate quickly and neatly led Wen Xi in.The little Taoist priest named Zhengyun is the third generation of disciples in the Taoist temple. According to him, the oldest Patriarch Faning in the temple has already wandered away. There are only six other Taoist priests. Brothers only.
Zhengyun looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, more like an ordinary child, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Master Yuanxi, how old are you?" Even though her gentle face looked tenderer than his , but Zheng Yun didn't dare to underestimate the silver hair on that end. The more he looked at it, the more curious he became, so he couldn't help asking.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "Life is wasted."
Zheng Yun had a look of surprise on his face, "You really are a hundred and two years old?!"
Wen Xi chuckled, putting on a full-on posture of a master, lying without blushing or beating heart, while scanning the surroundings with doubts, this Taoist temple is a bit too desolate, and no one came to offer incense?Thinking of this, Wen Xi couldn't help feeling suspicious. When he came to the border of Qiongshan County, he didn't see many pedestrians along the way, which was really strange.
There is a 500-year-old ginkgo tree planted in the courtyard. Although it is not early to bloom and bear fruit, the branches are densely intertwined, and the scene is quite spectacular!There is a huge three-legged bronze incense burner under the ginkgo tree. It has indeed grown a patina, and it seems that it has not been used for a long time.
"Really, this way please—"
Wen Xi was led by Zheng Yun to the wing room specially for visitors, Wen Xi was puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you the only one in Qiongshan Temple?"
Zheng Yun sighed, and said with a sad face: "I don't know what the real person is. A plague broke out in Qiongshan County a few days ago. The master and several senior brothers have all gone down the mountain to donate soup and medicine. They will not come back until it is dark." To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
Wen Xi waved her hand and said, "Your aptitude is too poor, I won't accept you!" She didn't want to bring a tow bottle on the road, even Qinglan and Yuludai stayed in the space.
Hu Yan cried even harder when he heard it, and quickly kowtowed: "Please, old god, I will work hard!!"
