On the first day of September, the sky is high and the sun is bright and there are no clouds
A huge mountain peak rose from Kun-Lai and swept towards the largest country in the Western Continent, Xiao.
Yan Zhao and Bai Narcissus sat on the top of the peak, chatting while enjoying the wonderful mountains and rivers.
"It's only been a hundred years, and the water plants in Xizhou have grown a lot." Bai Shuixian looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers in admiration, "How many disciples do you think we can recruit this time, can we have 2,000?"
"Do you want to exhaust Tu Fei that rabbit?" Yan Zhao said lightly as he sipped the high-quality fairy tea, "There is not enough spiritual rice, no matter how many disciples are sent back."
"There can always be better," Bai Narcissus held up her delicate lower jaw, thinking about the future, smiling, "We have received quite a few disciples in the past 100 years, and maybe there aren't many of them, so it's just cloud sleeves. We can stand alone with Xiao Yan, I asked the old turtle to figure it out, and he said that we will definitely have a big harvest this time."
The old turtle is the cloud turtle demon sage caught by the head. He temporarily took a job at Liangyi Peak and contributed his body to the monks who were divination. Bai Shuixian likes to find him if he has something or nothing.
"Those princes and nobles, don't think like you." Yan Zhao poured cold water on him.
"Hmph, if that's the case, let them know what the majesty of the immortal family is." Bai Shuixian held the long sword and said coldly.
This is a little troublesome.
A hundred years ago, the head sword opened the mountain, drawing in the water from the West Sea, and set up a questioning stone to select disciples in a place where there were people. If it is not done well, the sinister people will cause disasters to happen frequently.
After the ordinary mortals know that the heart stone is used, the first thing is not to organize the young people to come to the selection, but to take it for themselves, especially the nobles of the mortal kingdom, who even organize their own disciples into groups in private, but not at all. There is no intention to inform ordinary villagers. Some wealthy squires have to join their forces if they want their heirs to be selected, otherwise they will not even think about it.
Bai Shuixian and others did not find out when they selected the disciples the first two times, and they had to come to a few hundred disciples. Forty years later, should more people come
After careful inspection, I found that the other party did not send messages to the remote places at all, and asked the reason in a rage, only to realize that the emperor was worried that if the local people had a background, he would not listen to the education, and he would disagree... So he simply did not notify. , let only nobles participate.
In a rage, Bai Shuixian revoked the qualifications of the royal family on the spot, selected others, and even took Wen Xinshi to sieve village by village. This selection took nearly three years and received nearly 1,000 disciples. Finally, the news spread all over the place.
After a few times, the number of people gradually increased.
Just as he was talking, Yan Zhao suddenly looked into the distance, where the sound of smoke and dust was killing everywhere, like a battlefield.
"I'll take a look." Yan Zhao swung his long sword and rushed out. On the road, he saw a fierce tiger attacking a village by the river.
After a while, he returned to the peak with a strange expression: "It's because of us."
"Oh?" Bai Narcissus looked at him.
"Now that Xizhou is becoming more habitable, many residents have moved out, and Xiao Guo can't control the land too far, so there is a force called Zhou Dynasty, which rises to the west of Xiao Guo," Yan Zhao thought as he raised his teacup, "This time, they I want to rob Xiao Guo's Heart Stone."
Seeing his serious expression, Bai Shuixian thought that he might have an idea, so he asked, "Then how do you solve it?"
"Of course I'm looking for Senior Sect Master." Yan Zhao said without hesitation.
Bai Narcissus gave him a roll of eyes.
…
Ancun is a large village by the river, with a population of several hundred. It is only a river away from the Great Xiao Country. Most of the villagers make a living by fishing and weaving. A few families came, mostly a few orphans and widows, who were divided up by the bachelors in the village.
The An family at the entrance of the village is the most prosperous family in the village. The master of the house is the village's Lizheng. At that time, the old lady of the An family took the lead and took in one of the most shrewd girls. My name is An Xian, I hope she is gentle and demure, and can take good care of her poor little grandson who was born without arms.
An Xian stayed in An's house like this, cooking and washing, chopping firewood and mowing grass, and eating a bite of rice. She did not abuse her until she was twelve years old, and her betrothal partner was considered an adult. Let them round up.
A set of new clothes is considered a dowry, and there are no three media and six hires. Early that morning, An Xian got up to fetch water to cook, listening to them discussing whether the children in the village had come to the city, and prayed that God would bless them. selected.
An Xian listened while feeding her "husband-in-law", feeling a little envious, but she also knew that she couldn't go.
Not to mention that she is a child bride, she is a serious daughter in the village, and no one can run for election. In the hearts of the villagers, daughters are from other families. If they want to marry off, how can they be allowed to cultivate immortals? If it is really selected, then who will have the children and who will be the master of the family, doesn't it reverse the yin and yang
Just thinking about it, I heard screams next to me, and a familiar villager shouted, "The big bug has entered the village!"
For a time, everyone was pale, but they still greeted Qingzhuang, lit the torches, and went to drive the tigers away.
An Xian carried her fiancé-in-law to the back room. After thinking about it, she felt uneasy, so she carried him to the roof. The big bug can jump up to 10 feet high, but the general fence can't do anything, the roof is still safe.
She stood tall, and her heart tightened as she watched the tiger's claws hurt people suddenly.
But in the blink of an eye, several people fell to the ground, dragged aside by others, and continued to injure the tiger with fire, which seemed to anger the wildness of the tiger even more.
Seeing that the tiger suddenly pounced, it had already bit the throat of a person, but suddenly a white light flashed by, and with a light and heavy sound, the tiger's heavenly spirit was easily shattered.
Everyone was startled and instinctively looked up.
However, he saw a white-robed sword immortal in the sky, looking down at the common people, and swept away without stopping.
Behind him, a huge and majestic immortal peak shrouded in clouds and mist followed, casting a huge shadow on the ground, bringing a burst of cold wind, and swept away towards Xiaodu.
All the villagers bowed down reverently.
An Xian stared blankly on the roof, as if she had lost her soul.
That sword, one person, and one peak seemed to touch the depths of her soul, and something spread and grew from the bottom of her heart.
"Xian'er," her fiance rubbed her shoulder and whispered, "Come on, or grandma will get angry again."
An Xian nodded.
On that day, she was distracted, thinking about herself, thinking about the sword light, forgetting to cook, and being scolded, but she still looked into the distance until the sunset.
In the evening, she quietly opened the courtyard door, but saw an armless teenager outside the courtyard, watching her quietly.
An Xian looked at him with undisguised determination in her eyes.
The young man lowered his eyebrows, sad and lost, and stopped speaking.
An Xian turned to leave.
Knowing that she could not get on the ferry, she first went up the river, and when she reached between the two cliffs, when there was no way to go, she moved her body and jumped off the river.
She is very good at water. She first climbed up the shallow side of the river, but even so, after a few hours, her stamina gradually became exhausted.
Halfway through, a ferry came to look for her name, but she didn't even hear it. Instead, she snorkeled when the other party approached, trying her best not to be discovered.
When she swam to the ferry, she could hardly believe she had done it.
I didn't encounter undercurrents and fierce fish along the way, and I didn't get caught in the bottom of the water.
She took a breath and walked towards the city.
However, the city guards stopped her and asked her to pay for entering the city.
Where did she give it, but it has already come to this point, if she let go, she would not be reconciled - when the guard was saying that the little beggar was about to roll away, An Xian took a broken brick and smashed his face with blood. Deputy time rushed into the city gate.
The other party came after her furiously, and she tried her best to avoid the narrow alleys of the stalls—Anjia had come here several times to sell fish, and she remembered the journey.
Finally, she arrived at the palace of the Heart Stone, but this time, there were far more guards than the city gates.
An Xian took off her coat, wrapped a large bag of dry soil, smashed it hard, and rushed over. When the guard saw her approaching, he frowned and came to block her, but the girl who was wet and dirty rolled past him. Suddenly angry, he stretched out the spear in his hand and plunged it into the girl's shoulder.
The blood was everywhere, and the girl stumbled, but she still rushed to the courtyard door without stopping.
In front of her are more guards.
"Why don't you let me in!" An Xian said sharply, "Why can't I enter the immortal way set up by the immortals of Xizhou for the people of the world?"
"This is not where a little beggar like you comes." The headed guard looked cold, "Drag her down!"
While An Xian was pulling, seeing the opportunity, she threw the burden with force, and the soil filled the sky. The guards couldn't help but close their eyes and let the girl rush in.
Shenshi stood still, and there were many children around. An Xian didn't know where the strength came from. She pushed aside the few in front of her and stretched out her hand - the spear also stabbed.
A light flickered.
Yan Zhao looked at the embarrassed girl, and the other party stared at him without showing weakness.
Bai Shuixian and his senior brother looked at each other and smiled, and said to the girl, "What's your name?"
Good luck, as soon as they came, they met an excellent seedling.
…
On the Feilai Peak, An Xian still had a dreamy feeling.
"Immortal, will I be your apprentice in the future?" An Xian couldn't help asking Yan Zhao.
She changed into a fitted dress, and Bai Narcissus combed her long hair and wrapped her wound, she was an extremely pretty girl.
"Not yet," Yan Zhao smiled slightly, "but as long as you go through the outer door, you will be robbed, and I will make you my apprentice too."
"Okay!" An Xian said seriously, "It's a word."
"It's a promise." Yan Zhao said proudly.
—
"This is how I joined Kun-Lai." An Xian said to Qiao Taki with a smile, "But later, he seemed to regret it a little."
"Really, one more question, how did you get through the outer door?" Qiao Taki was puzzled.
"Come on, fight, I'll tell you." An Xian threw a sword flower and said leisurely, "If you win me, I'll marry you."
