As the date of the exam approached, the number of disciples coming and going in the Huayu Hall suddenly increased.

Every day, you can see past outer disciples with different clothes and ages coming up the mountain road.

Some of them wore Taoist clothes and were fairy-like. Some of them were walking on dragons and tigers, dressed up as people in the martial arts world. Some were young and beautiful; some were gray in their temples and were old in the evening.

A man carrying a load and dusty man stepped into the gate of the Huayu Hall and called out Mu Xue and the others who were holding hands, "Junior sister, I'm here to take the big test. I'm here to ask where the Dian Mao is in this period?"

Mu Xue pointed the place to him.

The big man smiled and nodded and thanked him, carrying a bunch of messy daily necessities. The man had kneaded hair and hair and several patches on his clothes. If it weren't for the fact that the man without Fu Yu could not reach the top of the mountain, Mu Xue would hardly believe that he was also a disciple of Guiyuan Sect.

Another fat white man wearing a round crown and climbing gold boots, sweating all over the top of the mountain. He saw Xia Tong and others, bowed with a smile, "I'm here to take this exam, I'll give you some junior sisters the way."

Judging from the clothes and dress of this person, he was definitely not just an ordinary wealthy family. He was born in a royal family and a wealthy family at that time. He would never be able to treat such a girl like Mu Xue so politely.

However, when you enter the mountain gate, no matter what your identity is outside the mountain, you are now just a fellow disciple. You must be respectful to each other, especially for these young junior brothers and sisters who are new and promising in the future.

"What should I do? I suddenly felt a little worried." Yuanzi hiccupped, "Will we do this too? His hair is white and Ji can't enter the inner door?"

"Even if I can't enter the inner door, I just stay on the mountain and don't want to go home." Xia Tong looked at the people coming and going, and showed a sad look that was inconsistent with her age. "I will live on the mountain for the rest of my life and I will not plan to get married in the future. As long as I am still here, the people in the family will feel honored by me, and my mother can live a better life."

Xia Tong's mother was a child bride bought at home since childhood. She was a cunning mother-in-law and rude husband. There was also a big brother below, and life was very difficult.

"Zhang Erya, Xia Tong, someone is coming from your family. You are waiting at Chongxuguan at the foot of the mountain. Go and have a look." A senior sister came up from Chongxuguan at the foot of the mountain to send a message to Mu Xue and Xia Tong.

As the triennial exam approaches, many disciples' families have come from all over the world to visit and encourage their children.

In the past two days, people have been coming and going on the mountain roads.

Xia Tong was very excited and pulled Mu Xue and ran down the mountain.

"Quick, hurry, Xiaoxue. It must be my mother who came to see me."

She stepped on the bluestone steps and ran very fast. Her face turned red and her eyes were shiny.

The child who was just talking about never going home is actually worried about his family.

Mu Xue was pulled away by her, and she felt a little bit of expectation in her heart.

The ones who came to visit Mu Xue were their father, mother and brother, Dazhuzi.

In these days, it is very difficult for ordinary people to go out for a long journey. They immediately cross the magic circle and arrive at Jiulian Mountain. However, when their parents and brothers come from their hometown, they need to travel through mountains and rivers, and it takes more than a month to go back and forth. It is not easy to prevent thieves and thefts.

The situation at home is obviously much better. My father, who has been poor all his life, has now put on newly made silk clothes. The thin and hardworking mother also put a gold ring on her finger to support the storefront.

My parents, who had never even walked out of the town, were sitting in the tea room, looking very cramped, with no place to place their hands and feet, and were restlessly pulling their new clothes.

Until he saw his little daughter who had not seen for several months, Zhang's mother instantly forgot about her. She pulled Mu Xue's hand, looked back and forth for a while, and hugged her into her arms.

"I miss you so much. Let me take a good look at you, you've lost weight."

Zhang's father whispered: "What nonsense? Erya lives in the place of the immortal family, how could she lose weight?"

Before they left, the patriarch and local officials came to see him off and explained many scenes that needed attention. This timid and simple farmer deeply remembered those words in his heart.

Zhang's mother hurriedly wiped her tears and smiled embarrassedly at the monk who was taking care of the tea room.

She pulled her six-year-old daughter to look around, feeling very uncomfortable. Erya has been born white and tender since she was a child and has never left her. Now that she has been here for a few months, her chin is sharp, which shows that life is not easy on the mountain.

Although it was a matter of glorious family and glorious ancestors, I was reluctant to think that my little daughter, whom I loved since childhood, had to be a disciple for others at a young age. After all, Dazhu was a disciple in the city and had to be beaten and scolded by his master. My daughter must have worked very hard.

Mu Xue was hugged tightly by her mother, and she was not used to such closeness.

He barely drilled out of his mother's strong elbow and wanted to tell her that he had lost weight because he had just had a serious illness.

She raised her head and from this angle, she could clearly see a pair of thick fingers covered with calluses wiping the corners of her eyes. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes squeezed into a ball, with some turbid tears.

When I first came to this world, I hugged her with these thick hands and walked around the fields with her back. This allowed her to spend a very leisurely and idle time.

At that time, these hands were not so thick, and those eyes did not have so many wrinkles.

Mu Xue suddenly felt an unbearable feeling in her heart.

"I'm fine. I eat well on the mountain and I have chicken legs every day. The master doesn't hit anyone." She tried hard to comfort others.

Back then, when Xiaoshan was raising her by her side, the more she was injured, the more she was hiding when she came back and didn't want her to discover it.

It turned out that it was out of this mood.

Some people love and care for the child and want to repay the person who has taken care of him.

Make her worry-free and make her no longer sad.

Mu Xue lay in her mother's arms and let her mother's hand pat her shoulder.

Until the mother stabilized her mood, let go of Mu Xue, and tried to smile hard, took out a crock pot from the bag she brought and placed it on the table.

"It's all what you like to eat since you were a child, and I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it on the mountain. This is pickled cucumber, this is salted duck egg, this is terrible bamboo shoots and newly pickled tender ginger..."

Zhang's father said, "Eya is a god. She is not missing this person. She told you not to bring so many, but she would be embarrassed."

Mu Xue took the jars and said, "Thank you, mother, I often think about the smell of home."

She always said few words, and she said one sentence, and her father, mother, and brothers immediately became happy.

"It's good that you like it. I'll see you next time, and I'll bring you my mother."

The family members had to say goodbye and leave after not long after they got along.

Mu Xue sent them out of Chongxuguan all the way and onto the avenue at the foot of the mountain.

Before getting on the carriage, Zhang's mother held her little hand, reluctant to let it go, and choked and said, "Yeah, if the master is too fierce, you will hit you very hard. You...you will come back home, and your parents will support you."

"What nonsense is it? You can't teach the child badly." Zhang's father pulled his wife into the car, a little unhappy. He explained his daughter seriously and seriously, "Daughter, you can't listen to your mother. Remember, you must be respectful to your master on the mountain, study hard, and don't cause trouble. Now our family and clan, our entire village is pointing at you and your face."

Whether it was his father or mother, Mu Xue said it was understandable, nodded and waved to send them into the car.

My brother Dazhu stayed outside the car, avoiding people, quietly lifted up the corners of his clothes, took out a bundle of small bags wrapped around his pants, and stuffed them into Mu Xue's arms.

"Sister, since you chose it, many people have come to your house and have given you a lot of precious items. I heard that when you become a master, you have to give gifts to your master. Then other people's children have them, but I'm afraid you don't have them. This is what my mother has chosen and asked me to give them to you quietly, so you can keep it." He looked around carefully, and finally emphasized in a low voice.

"Don't listen to my father. I still have my brother at home. If I really can't stay in the mountain, I'll come home and I can support you."

Mu Xue, who was standing at the foot of the green mountain, watched the carriage rolling up and leaving. She was covered in the world and turned around and walked back.

Xia Tong had just bid farewell to her relatives, holding the package left by her parents, and her nose and eyes were red when she cried.

"I met my mother. In the past, my father always beat my mother, and my grandma was very fierce to her. Now my mother's clothes are also beautiful, and there are no scars on her face, which is much better than before."

Mu Xue held her hand and walked back. Xia Tong sobbed while walking, and wiped her nose with her sleeve.

"Xiaoxue, I'm very happy, really."

I was happy or sad when I cried and laughed.

Mu Xue looked at her helplessly, "What delicious food did your mother bring to you?"

"By the way, there are pickled pepper chicken feet, snowflake cake and plum candy, which are delicious. You can eat it later. What about you?"

"Mine is pickled cucumber, salted eggs, terrible bamboo shoots and newly pickled tender ginger. You can try it later."

All sects in the fairy world, no matter where the sect is hidden, will mostly set up some temples representing sects in the country where the sect belongs to, so as to increase their influence in the mortal world, recruit disciples, and choose excellent disciples.

Therefore, although the spiritual veins in the fairy world are scarce, the cultivation veins are still preached and are not obviously weaker than the demon spirit world with abundant spiritual power.

The temple located in the human world is called Chongxu Temple. This Chongxu Temple, halfway up the Jiulian Mountains, is the most magnificent and extraordinary.

Although the main hall is located halfway up the mountain, from the foot of the mountain, there are welcome courtyards, teahouses and some food and wine shops for the believers who come to burn incense to rest.

The management of these places is also taken turns by the internal and external disciples of the sect.

When Mu Xue and Xia Tong passed by a noodle stall, they unexpectedly found that the stall owner was an acquaintance. The man's surname was Yang Dan and his name was Jun. It was the senior brother who picked them up at the mountain gate on the first night. He was from Tiezhufeng.

"Senior Brother Yang? Why are you here?" Mu Xue greeted him.

"It's Xiaoxue." Yang Jun often saw Mu Xue punching in the square and had a very impression of her. "Isn't it normal for me to be on duty this week? It's my turn to be on duty. Are you hungry? Senior brother cooks a bowl of noodles for you and eat it before going back."

Mu Xue and Xia Tong sat down on the table.

I saw Yang Jun behind the stove skillfully pulling it out, mixing sesame oil, mixing it with thick peanut butter, and sprinkling a handful of fresh green onion.

Two plates of strongly fragrant peanut noodles were placed in front of them, and two bowls of big bone soup that had been boiled for a long time.

Mu Xue took a bite and the noodles somersault was rich in sauce and it was so delicious.

Xia Tong didn't even bother to speak, sucked her mouth wide, and only freed her hand to give her a thumbs up.

"But brother, will this delay your practice?" Mu Xue was very puzzled.

Yang Jun laughed: "What do you think the little girls are practicing? Do you hide in the mountains and meditate day and night?"

"Isn't it just?" Xia Tong looked up and said vaguely.

"Yes, you haven't become a disciple yet, and no one has told you about this in detail." Yang Jun quickly cleaned up the desktop with a rag, "We are born in the world, and our practice is naturally inseparable from the world."

"It is difficult for people who have never seen this colorful world, experienced the various temptations and hardships of the world, and who only buried their heads in the deep mountains to practice hard, to successfully overcome the human disaster on the road of practice."

"It's like you girls. You are a girl. You have gone up the mountain at a young age and have never been to the slick man in the world. One day, you suddenly went down the mountain and met a handsome young man who used the means of the world and was very attentive and cared for you. When you return to the mountain, you will naturally be his face when you meditate. When you are quiet, you will see his face. Isn't this stuck in the love disaster?"

Mu Xue and Xia Tong both laughed.

"Don't laugh, senior brother, I'm still talking lightly." Yang Jun said, don't laugh, and he laughed, "You will know in the future. Only by being down-to-earth and experiencing the mind and nature that has been cultivated through thousands of sails can you not be easily tempted by demonic obstacles when practicing. Those mind, love, and demon realm disasters will not be too fierce and can be smoothly passed."

"Then we also want to come down to cook noodles. Do we want to greet the guests?" Mu Xue asked.

"That may not be necessary. If you enter the inner sect, the teacher will naturally arrange different tasks according to your nature while preaching the Dharma. For example, go to the rivers and lakes to do some trivial matters, or go to a certain place to rescue people. It is also possible to practice in a safer secret realm. Who knows?"
