Although Muyu had been to the town before, when he came again, he still felt a sense of freshness. Towns are different from villages. Although villages also have more than a hundred households, their prosperity is never one-tenth that of towns.
The streets were bustling with people, and Mu Yu and the village chief stood in the middle of the crowd, looking like country people. The village chief couldn't help but look around. As he got older, he rarely came to the town. He was looking for the location of the school. After confirming the location, he took Muyu and merged into the crowd.
"This school is jointly run by the four major sects, and is specially used to select children who are qualified to become immortal masters. Every year, the school sends people to various villages to test whether children over the age of twelve have the potential to become immortal masters, and then let them They all go to the academy to report, and then some sects come here to select people. If you are chosen by the sect, then your life will be worth it. It's a pity that you have only been two of us in our village for ten years."
The village chief has always believed that becoming an immortal master is a very sacred profession, but unfortunately the conditions are too harsh and not everyone has the potential to practice.
Mu Yu thought of the young man who came to the village to test his bones a few days ago. He was also a so-called immortal master. He was cold and arrogant, making people unbearable. Even after testing Mu Yu's potential for cultivation, he was indifferent. He asked the village chief to send the person to the school in the town and then left. He looked so condescending that Mu Yu was disgusted.
"Will you become very cold after becoming an immortal master?" Mu Yu asked.
The village chief thought for a while and said: "I don't know. Immortal masters are generally aloof and have nothing to say to us mortals. You will also become an immortal master in the future. Don't you know it by then?"
Mu Yu thought again of the child in the village who became an immortal master ten years ago. Now he is a young man. When he came back last year, he looked very proud and proud, with his tail almost raised to the sky. Even the village chief was You have to listen respectfully. Mu Yu had heard before that the immortal master wanted to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, and thinking about it, he didn't want to be that kind of person.
"Hey, isn't this the village chief of Liushui Village, Lao Bu?"
A deep voice sounded behind Mu Yu and the others. This voice was full of energy and Mu Yu had never heard it before. The village chief was stunned for a moment and looked a little unhappy, but he still turned around, forced a smile and nodded: "It's the head of Dahu Village of Dadian Village! What a coincidence."
"No, I brought a few kids to the school specifically. I wonder, Village Chief Bu, what are you doing here?"
In front of him was a big man with a beard and a huge back. Mu Yu felt that he was almost catching up with the grizzly bear he met in the morning. This is the village chief Hu of Dadian Village. Every year, at least two children in his village are tested to have the potential to practice, making people in other villages very envious. Village Chief Lao Bu often mentions these things. After all, Liu Shui There are only two born in the village every ten years, and Chengxian's frankness cannot be compared with them.
"Our village also gave birth to a baby today, and I took him to school." The village chief tried his best to straighten his waist and proudly put his hand on Mu Yu's shoulder.
"Oh, really? There are four of them in our village this year!" Dahu pulled the four strong children behind him and said domineeringly.
"There are four little kids in your village?"
The village chief was a little surprised. He felt very unbalanced. There was only one in his village every ten years, but there were at least two every year, and four this year. This was too much. How did they train them
"Yes! We were lucky this year. We gave birth to four babies. The adults in the county were so happy that they exempted our village from paying taxes for half a year!" Dahu said proudly.
Village Chief Lao Bu was furious. If a child who could become an immortal appeared in the village, even the county adults would take extra care of him. Every year in Dadian Village, at least two children were selected by various sects, and they were also very popular with the county. With the adults' attention, taxes will be reduced, and many transactions will be more convenient. Dadian Village has now become the richest village near Liushui Mountain.
"Hmph! There's no telling which sect he can join! Mu Yu from our village has good qualifications, so he will definitely be able to join the Qingsong sect." The village chief touched Mu Yu's head and said unconvinced.
"That's not necessarily the case. How can a sect like the Qingsong Sect be entered just as soon as you enter? I see that the little boy in your village is so thin, it would be good to join some second-rate sects. There is no harm in telling you secretly. A few days ago, the fairy The master showed a surprised expression when he was testing Xiaohu's root bones! He even asked me to bring Xiaohu with him at that time! What was the expression on that master's face when your little boy was being tested? Haha! Goodbye."
Dahu looked at the thin Mu Yu mockingly. Next to Dahu was the little tiger. The little tiger looked at Mu Yu arrogantly, his eyes were very proud, and he didn't take Mu Yu seriously at all. Dahu laughed at Village Chief Lao Bu again, and then strode away with four strong children.
The village chief looked at their retreating figures with a very ugly expression on his face. He was very angry at being looked down upon so much. He thought about it for a moment, but the immortal master at that time had no expression on his face at all and was too lazy to say anything.
"Mu Yu, you have to be more ambitious! You must join one of those first-class sects. I'll see him proud when the time comes!" The village chief's mustache curled up as he looked at Mu Yu with hope.
Mu Yu nodded helplessly. He knew that the four sects in the academy were the most powerful and belonged to the first-class sects, namely Qingsong Sect, Jiuhua Sect, Yanshan Sect and Wuwen Sect. As long as you can enter one of these four sects, you are equivalent to Guangzong Yaozu, let alone being selected by the Qingsong Sect, the leader of the four sects.
No one knows how they select their disciples. According to the village chief, children with cultivation qualifications are sent to schools every year, and then each sect will send people to select their favorite disciples. As for how they were chosen, the village chief didn’t know. He said it was probably based on which baby looked pleasing to his eye!
Mu Yu's qualifications didn't attract any extra attention from the Immortal Master at that time, so thinking about it, I knew it wouldn't be much better, but it would still be good to be admitted to some second-rate sects, in case he performs well and gets into a first-rate sect. Maybe.
Mu Yu also didn't like Dahu's smug look. He also hoped in his heart that he could be favored by a first-class sect, so that he could appreciate Dahu's surprised and jealous expression.
Village Chief Lao Bu and Mu Yu kept shuttling among the endless flow of people. The sounds of hawking on the street kept coming and going. Finally, the two of them stopped in front of a majestic red house.
Mu Yu has never seen such a magnificent house. The precious black wood carvings of dragons and phoenixes are built into two magnificent door pillars. There is a lifelike dragon at the door, which is carved from stone and painted cyan. The big copper bell eyes are majestic and lifelike, as if they can scare away all those with malicious intentions, making people dare not look at them.
The vermilion door is open, solemn and slightly dusty, which is completely different from the surrounding architectural styles. There were two young men in green clothes sitting at the door. Their attire was completely different from that of ordinary people. They were obviously immortal masters. They just sat cross-legged calmly, closed their eyes and paid no attention. Presumably no ordinary mortal would dare to disturb them.
This is the academy, a holy place in the eyes of many mortals.
