Chapter 3 Candied Haws

Yu Wan and his party would stop and rest for half an hour every day at noon, and then continue on their way until the sun goes down...

Before resting in the evening, Yu Shanshui and Yu Jinniu will go separate ways. Yu Jinniu will be responsible for arranging the children on the carriage, while Yu Shanshui will place stones at the designated resting place.

Yu Wan observed it for several days and found nothing special about the stones.

But what is puzzling is that the group of people in the mountains and dense forests have never encountered wild animals or the like since they set out. This is not what Yu Wan hopes will happen. It is natural to be safe and sound. She is just very curious...

…

Could it be that this is an immortal method? Just like an interstellar invisible battleship?

Yu Wan had various speculations in her mind. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone had eaten and drank enough tonight and started to rest, she trotted softly to Yu Shanshui's side.

"Uncle Yu."

Yu Wan called out softly. When Yu Shanshui heard the sound, he slowly raised his slightly closed eyelids and looked at the direction from which the sound came.

"Girl Wan, why don't you go and have a rest? Do you miss you Aunt Mo?"

Yu Wan lowered her head in embarrassment, scratched the back of her head with her right hand, and laughed.

"I do miss Aunt Mo... However, I came to Uncle Yu to ask you something..."

"Oh?" Yu Shanshui asked.

"Uncle Yu, I see you playing with rocks every night before going to bed, and then I don't see any wild beasts attacking me all night long...Uncle Yu, is this some kind of immortal trick?" Yu Wan said his question in one breath.

Yu Shanshui was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yu Wan to observe so carefully. The other children in the group didn't notice it and took it for granted.

His face became slightly softer, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his voice was filled with relief.

"Girl Wan, I only used the confusion formation that is common in the mortal world. It is far from reaching the level of an immortal. This kind of small formation can only confuse ordinary beasts..."

When Yu Wan heard this, she became more and more curious. Could it be that just placing a few rocks can confuse wild beasts? It was too unscientific... She directly expressed her doubts.

Yu Shanshui heard her suspicion and was not angry. He briefly explained to her the basic knowledge of the Nine Bagua Palaces and urged her to go back and rest.

Every night from now on, Yu Wan would come over after everyone had rested and continue to ask Yu Shanshui for advice. On the third night, Tiedan noticed a muttering nearby. He got up to check and found figures one large and one small. He knew that Yu Wan was actually there.

While studying, I hurriedly got up and went over, squeezed in beside Yu Wan, and listened with her...

After the carriage continued to run forward for more than ten days, everyone finally left the mountains and arrived on the vast plains. They finally entered the Mugu Territory.

At this time, Yu Wan was lying by the carriage window, eating corn cakes and admiring the scenery of the plains...

On both sides of the dirt road that the carriage is walking are patches of golden wheat waves. When the breeze blows, the golden wheat waves rise and fall, high and low, which is quite spectacular...

On the high ground far away from the wheat waves, there are scattered maroon wooden huts dotted. It is almost the ripening season of winter wheat. There are figures as big as ants in front of those houses, coming and going...

Regarding some colors that he had not seen yet, Yu Wan pointed and asked Tie Dan one by one. Although Tie Dan had a disdainful expression, he took the trouble to answer them one by one. The two of them just crowded by the window on one side and asked.

One answer...

It was approaching noon, and Yu Shanshui, who was sitting in front of the car, could already see the city wall in front of him. He waved his whip vigorously, urging the two horses to run faster...

"The ultimatum." The servant at the city gate reminded the two people in front of the car.

Yu Shanshui hurriedly took out the documents from all directions given by the village chief. The messenger took them and looked at them before handing them back, not forgetting to remind them.

"The immortal masters from Jiutian Pavilion just arrived two days ago and are expected to leave this evening. You can take the time to test it."

Yu Shanshui and Yu Jinniu quickly clasped their fists and thanked them. After asking where the Immortal Master would accept his disciples this time, they drove into the city gate. Without a moment's hesitation, they went directly to Wenxian Square - the place where the Immortal Master Jiutian Pavilion accepted his disciples.

Although there is still half a day left before the end of Jiutian Pavilion’s recruitment, there are still several lines of children lining up in Wenxian Square...

After Yu Shanshui arrived by car, they followed the instructions and parked the carriage. They then gave some instructions to the children on the carriage and asked them to get off one by one, letting Yu Jinniu lead them to the end of the team.

Yu Wan and Tiedan were the last to get off the bus. They nodded towards Yu Shanshui, followed the team, and entered the end of the queue.

Tiedan originally wanted to stand behind Yu Wan, but seeing Yu Wan keep hiding behind him, he immediately ignored her, snorted softly, raised his head, straightened his body and took a step forward, following the team in front.

Yu Wan stood at the end, looking around the square.

The queue waiting for the Immortal Master to accept a disciple is still very long. Most of them are children between the ages of 6 and 9. Occasionally, I see one or two around 12 years old standing abruptly in the queue.

In addition to learning the basics of Qimen Bagua every night on the road, Yu Wan also learned some things about immortal masters recruiting disciples from Shanshui.

I heard that the first thing an immortal master needs to do when accepting a disciple is to test their spiritual roots. If there are spiritual roots, the immortal master will register them and take them to the immortal gate. As for the rest... Yu Shanshui said that he did not know, and he only went

It happened once. Last time, no one with spiritual roots appeared in the entire Donglin Town, and the expressions on the faces of those immortal masters were not very good.

As for what will happen this time, no one can be sure, but there is always a voice in Yu Wan's heart telling her that she will definitely have it... As for whether it is really what she thinks, she will know soon...

The sun gradually went down, and the children lining up in the square were no longer so hot, but their hearts became more and more anxious.

After testing for an entire afternoon, there was not a single person with spiritual roots. They could clearly see that the immortal master on the stage was getting more and more impatient. Seeing the people walking down the stage with their heads hanging down, they who were still queuing couldn't help but feel anxious...

After a while, it was the turn of the children from Yujiacun to take the stage. Yu Shanshui and Yu Shanshui, who were waiting outside the square, couldn't help but clasp their hands, hold their breath, and stare at the movement on the stage.

No…

No…

Still nothing…

Is it going to happen again this year... When Yu Shanshui bowed his head, a trace of regret and unwillingness flashed through his heart, the voice of the immortal master suddenly came from the stage.

"Single golden spiritual root, root value 90..."

Yu Shanshui suddenly raised his head and saw that standing on the stage was Tiedan, the child of his wife's sister's family.

He saw Tiedan being led to the stage by the smiling Master Xian, standing on one side, and then took the stage in the evening.

"Tsk, he's actually an alien..."

A young man on the stage wearing a moon-white robe with dark green lines on his sleeves saw Yu Wan with silver curly hair coming. He sneered slightly, then pointed at Yu Wan on the stage, "You, go down, our Jiutian Pavilion never

Collect aliens..."

Everyone in the audience heard the young man's sneer and the words that followed, and Yu Shanshui also felt worried in his heart.

Yu Wan on the stage not only heard it, but also clearly saw the contemptuous expression on the young man's face.

Although she didn't understand why even the immortals in the immortal sect spoke strange words, she still straightened her back, cupped her fists and said to the three immortal masters on the stage, "Three immortal masters, although I don't understand why the immortal masters also

Call me an alien, but when it comes to accepting disciples, shouldn’t everyone be equal? ​​Wouldn’t the immortal masters be sorry if they missed someone with good qualifications?”

After asking two questions in a row, the young man looked at Yu Wan again. Seeing that she was so dewy and fair at a young age, and seeing that her hair was still curled up, he couldn't help but think that she would also be a wonderful woman in a few years.

people……

Thinking of this, the young man said, "So, you are right... But my sect does have regulations and does not allow aliens like you to enter... So, if you really want to, you can follow me... As my maidservant,

The sect will not care..."

When Yu Wan heard what the young man said, how could he not know what the maid he was talking about was used for? While feeling contempt in his heart, he was also worried about how to refuse so as not to affect himself and the people in Yujia Village. After all, the other party was an immortal.

Master, his methods must be all-powerful...

At this time, another young man on the stage who had never spoken spoke up. He stood on the stage with a cold face and never said a word. Even when Tiedan was found to have a single gold spiritual root, he only smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth. Now when he opened his mouth, the audience

When everyone was shocked, they also looked at the cold-faced young man.

"Xiao Yu, don't be ridiculous..." The cold-faced young man paused, looked at Yu Wan, and continued, "The rules of Jiutian Pavilion stipulate that those who are not of my race cannot join the sect... Since you are an alien, you should know the difference between you and the people present.

Different...if you can't get started, it's your fate...next one."

After saying that, the cold-faced man returned to his original appearance, and the young man named Xiao Yu no longer embarrassed himself. He asked another companion to drive her down. He took the jade slip of the record and began to register the qualifications of the next person.

Yu Wan was kicked off the stage in this way. She did not bow her head like the other children who were not selected. After stepping down and finding where Yu Shanshui and others were, she ran directly over.

"Uncle Yu."

"Girl Wan, don't be sad. There will be other immortal sects coming in two days. Don't worry... there will always be a chance..." Yu Shanshui reached out and touched the top of Yu Wan's head to comfort her.

Yu Wan didn't explain much, nodded slightly, and stood next to Yu Shanshui.

A moment later, there was no one waiting in line under the stage.

The young man who was embarrassed on the stage handed the jade slip in his hand to another companion. After that companion took it, he put it on his forehead for a moment, and then a piece of white paper flew in front of him. After a while, he didn't see it.

He started writing, and a column of black words appeared on the paper...

Everyone in the square exclaimed when they saw this, and they all knelt down and worshiped on the stage...

In order not to stand out, Yu Wan had no choice but to kneel down with everyone else, with her hands and head pressed against the stone tiles on the ground. Then she raised her head slightly and glanced sideways at the stage.

The immortal master took the jade slip away from his forehead, and there was no more row of white paper in front of him. He waved his right hand, and a row of white paper with black characters flew directly towards the direction of the magistrate of Donglin Town.

Then I saw the cold-faced young man waving his hands, and a huge treasure ship appeared in the sky above the square. He flew up to it with the iron egg, and the other two people also lightly jumped onto the treasure ship...

Then a flash of light flashed, and the treasure ship rushed into the clouds and disappeared into the sky. The nearby white clouds were marked with a trace, which has not dissipated for a long time...

At this time, the magistrate also raised his head and motioned to the clerk beside him to take the white paper hanging in front of him. Then he heard the clerk shout loudly, "The person in charge of the town or village who has received the fairy fate comes to the yamen to report. Remember to leave before you leave."

Go to the mansion to collect the reward."

After saying that, as the magistrate left, the onlookers in the square quickly dispersed.
To be continued...
