Coming out of the Immortal City, we went all the way and finally arrived at Jiangling on the ninth day.

There was still some distance away from the city gate, and the speed of the carriage was getting slower and slower, so Kongzhi simply moved the carriage to the outermost side to get out of the way.

Many carriages come in and out, monks in the sky and under the earth are holding swords, and those riding horses are riding on horses. The people are equally busy with carrying goods, you squeeze me and you squeeze you.

It had been a long time since I had seen such a bustling city scene.

The door curtain was half opened, He Bugui was sitting in the carriage making tea while looking at the scene outside, and the two disciples were sitting in the front of the carriage, one on the left and one on the right, equally dazzled.

Kongzhi couldn't help but let out a "wow": "I have been to many places with Master, and most of them bypassed big towns. I thought that Qianhe City was already prosperous enough. It turns out that Jiangling is even more prosperous."

He Bugui said indifferently: "Qianhe City is a wharf port and an important commercial city, so it naturally looks more prosperous, but Jiangling has been a big city since ancient times, and there are many villages around it. The fairy gates here are prosperous, the industry, agriculture and commerce are developed, and the transportation is convenient. It’s a truly great town.”

"Xuanjiemen really knows how to choose a place." Yu Wuque also didn't see much of the world, Xinqi said, "Since the water demon riot, wherever I go, there is martial law during the day and curfew at night. It will take some time, but now Jiangling seems to be unaffected."

Yu Wuque saw an old man who sold candied haws. His legs and feet seemed to be weak. He staggered for a long time and was squeezed to the side of the carriage. Several bunches of candied haws on the grass target were squeezed out, and they were trampled to pieces before they had time to pick them up. With a regretful face and unable to bend down to pick it up, he was almost knocked to his knees.

So he jumped out of the car, helped the old man, and led him to the car.

"Thank you, Immortal Elder." The old man raised his eyes to look at Yu Wuque and Kong Zhi, and then caught a glimpse of the people in the carriage. He was surprised by the honor of the few, and secretly sighed whether he had met a god who descended from the mortal world. A few bunches of candied haws were presented as gifts, "I don't have anything else, so please take it if you don't mind, I made it all myself, it's clean and hygienic."

Kongzhi took it with both hands, licked his lips, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, old man."

Yu Wuque picked out a bunch and passed them behind him. A long white and tender hand behind the car curtain caught the candied haws, took them away silently, and reminded him in a low voice: "Pay."

"Hey." Yu Wuque agreed, took off the money bag and weighed it in his hand, and asked casually, "You do the math, old man, plus the one that was trampled just now and these three strings, how much I will give you together."

The old man shook his hand: "It's fine if you step on it, and it's not the fairy who stepped on it. These three strings count as fifteen pearls."

Kongzhi, who has a big family and a big business, was a little shocked, and couldn't help asking: "A bunch of candied haws only sells for five shells?" To be honest, the entire candied haws are not worth a piece of jade, and they can't even afford a piece of talisman paper. This is too bitter.

The old man smiled and said, "There is a field at home. Since Jiangling is very busy recently, I'll make some candied haws and sell them. It's one more way to make a living. Otherwise, it's not enough to support the family."

Yu Wuque thought about it, took out a piece of gold and jade, and stuffed it in. The old man shook his hands again and again in fright: "It's too much, too much, take it back from the fairy head, it's enough to buy my thatched cottage."

"Take it." Yu Wuque pointed to the straw target, "Think I bought all of these, I see that the old man's legs and feet are not good, you have the right to take a day off, and you might as well make money, I just asked you something. "

Yu Wuque ran to the side and squeezed with Kong Zhi, letting the old man sit in the carriage, and they parked the carriage far away from the main road.

The old man asked, "What does the Immortal Elder want to inquire about?"

Yu Wuque said: "You said that Jiangling City is very lively recently, why?"

"Xuanjiemen accepts a large number of disciples, everyone wants to go." The old man pointed to the family emblem hanging on the city gate and said, "Here, look, there is a registration point under that flag, otherwise why is it so crowded? The city can't even enter Going, most of them come here just because of the name and want to get started, and the registration line takes up the road.”

It is nothing new for Xuanjiemen to recruit disciples. Looking at the entire cultivation world, Xuanjiemen has the largest number of people in the compilation. They are no better than Tianji Palace. They all recruit outstanding disciples from Xianmen, and they are no better than Shangqingguan. Aristocratic families like to send them there. Xuanjiemen has always been down-to-earth when it comes to accepting disciples. The rich and powerful want them, as well as ordinary people. As a result, the number of disciples is considerable, but their cultivation levels are not uniform.

The monster clan made a fuss, and every fairy sect consumed a lot of manpower, so it is reasonable to recruit disciples to expand their strength.

The old man said: "The reason why so many people came this time is because Xuanjiemen has lowered the entry requirements."

The old man is a countryman who doesn't understand the twists and turns of cultivating immortals. According to his description, Xuanjiemen's acceptance of disciples this time is almost equivalent to accepting only those with complete arms, legs and feet.

"Receivers in previous years, registration is free, but after being selected, you have to pay a fee, one hundred ocher, many people can't afford this money, even if you are selected after registration, you can't get in. This time is different, Instead of paying the money, Xuanjiemen will give it back, and each head will give five hundred ocher jade." The old man regretted, "If I am not old, I would also like to try it, and if I am selected, my family will have it for the rest of my life. Guaranteed, not to mention that I heard that Xuanjiemen will also pay monthly money."

It's really strange to accept disciples like this without rejecting them.

No matter how rich the Xuanjie Sect is, if it is not good to collect some people who are not good enough to cultivate, there must be a reason to raise them for nothing.

It's just that the old man didn't know much about cultivating immortals, so he couldn't find anything if he asked again. He looked from afar and sighed: "Hey, I don't know when I will squeeze into the city. It would be a pity if I missed it."

"What? Apart from accepting apprentices, is there any other major event in the city today?" Yu Wuque asked.

"Yes, don't you know? The Great Immortal who is coming to Tianji Palace today, the head of Xuanjie Sect sent someone to pick him up at the gate of the city early." The old man rubbed his hands, his eyes full of piousness, "I heard that the Great Immortal is the one who will be here not long ago. The master who recovered the water monster, his surname is Yu or Tai, I can’t remember anything in my brain, anyway, it’s the Great Immortal who is coming.”

Kongzhi and Yu Wuque looked at each other.

The old man looked at them, and wanted to look back at the silent person in the carriage, but he didn't dare, so he gave up and said with a smile: "Just now I saw a few fairy elders with good looks, I thought you would be legends?" The Great Immortal in the middle, but..."

However, Xuanjiemen made such a big battle, and the wind was released a few days in advance, waiting at the city gate every day to pick up people. Even if the great immortal did not come flying with a royal sword, it must be surrounded by immortal sounds, and the bloody horse carried ten Several gold-encrusted carriages approached in a mighty manner.

He won't just sit in such a small carriage, and the speed is as slow as his candied haws seller.

"You shouldn't be." Old Bernahan smiled, "But the Immortal must have come here to collect demons, right?"

Yu Wuque answered vaguely.

The old man said: "It's been hard these days. The crops in the fields have been ruined by the spirits, and they hurt people. I don't know if it's just a bad year."

Kong knew: "Why don't you invite Xuanjiemen to catch the demon?"

The old man replied: "Everyone is poor, how can they afford to invite the head of the Xuanjie Sect."

Yu Wuque said enthusiastically: "Which village does the old man live in, just tell me, and I'll go and have a look after I settle down."

"Is the immortal elder willing to help? But, but we have no money..." the old man said with his hands in his hands.

"Take this." Yu Wuque pointed at the grass target.

"The immortal is so kind and virtuous, first of all, thank you first!" The old man got off the carriage and bowed tremblingly, "My home is in Xingtan Village, west of the city."

He Bugui stretched out his hand and handed out a brocade box, Yu Wuque put it into the old man's hand, and said: "This is my master's puppet, old man, you go back to the village and let him out at the entrance of the village. Whether you are a ghost or a ghost, everything will be safe and sound for a month, and I will come to find you within a month."

After bidding farewell to the old man, Yu Wuque put a straw target filled with candied haws on the carriage and drove the horse away.

After a while, the small carriage was submerged by the crowd, and only the candied haws could be seen. The old man was overjoyed, and took out the brocade box in his arms to look through it carefully.

The sight startled him.

The dark gold inscription on the top has only one word crane.

He really couldn't remember the name of the Great Immortal of Tianji Palace who took back the water demon, but the common people who farmed and plowed the fields knew that there was a fairy chief named He in Tianji Palace, and the puppet he made could keep the water and soil safe and protect the farmland from ghosts. Nibbling, and helping others to plow and sow seeds, he only hates that his home is too far away from Tianji Palace, and the Xuanjie Sect is in charge, so there is no way to get the care of that fairy elder.

I didn't expect that it was this kind-hearted person who passed by each other now.

The old man wanted to go back and thank him well, but he saw a commotion in front of him, the flow of people was separated on both sides, everyone whispered, and they all said that the Great Immortal was coming, and the people from Xuanjiemen came to respectfully invite them.

Three luxurious carriages lay across the gate of the city, and the cultivators of Xuanjiemen separated the idlers from others, with their swords in their sheaths, their eyebrows lowered.

The handsome immortal elder got off the carriage. He walked briskly, with a hearty smile on his face. He stopped when he approached, and first bowed respectfully: "At the Xiaxuanjie Gate, the sub-ruler Hua Fengyu , here I am waiting for Taiwei Shangxian to drive, and waiting for Young Master Yu Wuque."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the disciples of the Xuanjie Sect bowed down respectfully, their movements were uniform, their sleeves and sabers rubbed against each other slightly, and after a while, the scene fell into dead silence.

The common people knew that the Great Immortal was coming, and they looked up at the freshness with their necks up. When they saw the disciples of the Xuanjie Sect in battle, they did not dare to show their anger for a moment, and they bowed respectfully, and kept looking at the pony carriage.

Kongzhi was driving the horse while gnawing candied haws, when he was suddenly surrounded by people and bowed three levels inside and three levels outside, which made him almost choke tears from the hawthorn. The target watched the excitement, but who knew that all the excitement came to him.

It is conceivable that in such a battle, it is the person in the carriage who has the most headache.

Yu Wuque smiled and moved his lips: "Master, do you want to come out?"

"No." The person behind the curtain crunched the candied haws, and added, "Hurry up."

"They are here to welcome you." Yu Wuque deliberately teased him, "If you don't see the deity, you won't let it go."

There was a moment of silence behind the curtain, and the sound of chewing was heard again: "I'm sick and can't blow the air."

Kong Zhi heard the words and turned his head: "When did Master get sick? Why didn't you tell me?"

He Bugui ruthlessly said: "I'm sick now, you two don't talk to them, it's just putting on airs and preventing people from entering the city by blocking the door."

"But—" Kong Zhi wanted to ask something else, but Bie Yu Wuque pulled him away and whispered in his ear: "Master wants to be lazy, we will deal with it, so many people treat him like a treasure, he is not happy, and I will not agree." .”

The crane does not return: "..."

Yu Wuque stood up straight, put on a good face, and bowed back: "Master Hua Duo, you are very polite. We passed by Jiangling and knew that Xuanjiemen was busy, so we didn't want to disturb you."

Hua Fengyu said: "Earlier, there was a letter from a member of the sect, saying that when meeting Mr. Yu and his party, they would come to Jiangling for business. The Xuanjie Sect should honor the friendship of the landlord and come from afar. .”

"How embarrassing." Yu Wuque rubbed the back of his head, "It's really disturbing."

Hua Fengyu said: "It should be."

After talking nonsense and being polite for a long time, another person got off the carriage behind Hua Fengyu.

Xiao Qi waved at Yu Wuque from afar, and his acquaintance and enthusiasm were self-evident: "Young Master Yu, don't come here without any problems!"

"Ha." Yu Wuque shook his hand and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, Master Xiao is also in Jiangling."

"It's a coincidence, I happened to have something to look for the head of Hua, and I have lived in Jiangling for a few days." Xiao Qi walked to Hua Fengyu's side, introduced him politely, and then turned his back on the guest, "Hua Fengyu The head of the sect is unable to come in person due to some matters today, so he has hosted a banquet at home to welcome you back by Master Hua Tuo."

"Master Hua Tuo has worked hard." Yu Wuque said very kindly, "There is no need for the reception banquet. Master is a little sick and needs to rest."

"Young Master Yu, you are welcome." Hua Fengyu reciprocated, "Shangxian is not feeling well, just happened to rest in the mansion, there are pharmacists, doctors and practitioners in the mansion, I heard that Taiwei Shangxian doesn't like to make noise, and has cleaned out the secluded guest house for the Shangxian to rest. I also hope that Shangxian will not dislike us for our poor hospitality."

One greeted the guests respectfully, the other politely refused, and they went back and forth several times to strike the edge, frowning when the crane in the carriage did not return.

It didn't mean that if you borrow a donkey to go downhill, you can live directly at home if you come.

Which play is this refusal to welcome again?

The crane does not return: "cough." There is no end.

Xiao Qi said: "Farewell to Bai Lingchuan, I haven't had a chance to treat the two of you well, now that I have been honored by Master Hua, I hope Shangxian Taiwei and Young Master Yu Wuque will show respect."

Hua Fengyu echoed: "Young Master Yu is a newcomer, so there is no way you don't welcome him. Taiwei Shangxian is a model of the immortal sect. Even if you just pass by Jiangling, I dare not neglect you. Please come to the mansion for a briefing."

Feeling that he was almost too polite, Yu Wuque put on a embarrassed look and changed his words: "Master Hua Tuo's kindness is hard to turn down, so we have no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient. Master should not move, please lead the way, we just follow."

Hua Fengyu got on his horse and said with a smile, "Please!"

The disciples of Xuanjiemen gathered around the small carriage of Crane Bugui, leading people into the city in a mighty way. Yu Wuque got into the carriage, saw that Crane Bugui had eaten three bunches of candied haws, and was about to eat the fourth bunch. He snatched it with his hands and stuffed it all into his mouth.

He was not happy about the crane not returning.

Yu Wuque said, "You don't want your teeth anymore?"

"You can't stop talking to them." He turned his eyes away impatiently, "Tell me, why do you want to refuse?"

Yu Wuque said: "Putting on airs, I want to teach them that I want to avoid them, and the investigation is also carried out in secret, and I don't want to be known by Xuanjiemen. If there is such a battle, I can't save face and have to live in their residence. , so they will definitely be wary of my every move."

He Bugui didn't understand: "Whether it's troublesome or not, the Xuanjie Sect won't take it lightly, isn't it superfluous."

"No!" Outside the carriage, Xiao Qi followed with small steps, "I have something to say to the Immortal."

Kong Zhi immediately lifted him into the carriage: "Lord Xiao, it's true, just tell me that I'll stop the car. If it stumbles, brother Xiao will show me the face again."

"Thank you very much, huh?" Xiao Qi turned his head and looked at Kongzhi, always feeling weird.

A hand stretched out from behind the door curtain, unceremoniously lifted Xiao Qi by the collar and dragged him in.

Xiao Qi's crown was knocked crooked, and while sitting still, he supported the crown: "Young Master Yu, when can you be more polite to me, anyway, I still have to write—"

He Bugui stared at him coldly.

Yu Wuque served the tea: "Come on, you, I don't want to fix the vain things outside, you told me just now, tell the master again."

Xiao Qi's appearance was by no means accidental, just now he was fighting violently, and it was indeed Xiao Qi who said something important to Yu Wuque in private.

With Xiaoyuelou, the ear god, finding out the secret of Xuanjiemen will only get twice the result with half the effort.

Crane Bugui waited leisurely.

Xiao Qi poured hot tea, touched his lips, and said solemnly: "Xuanjiemen is haunted!"
