Chapter 3 Seeking Talent
"It seems that your body has recovered almost and it won't take long to leave here."
When Chen Xu was out of sight, a familiar voice quietly rang in his ears.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at it, and finally saw the mysterious young man he had been obsessed with appeared beside him at some point.
I saw him biting a green fruit as big as a fist, and his eyes casually browsing the scenery in front of him. Anyone who passes by or finds him in the distance will stop and salute before leaving.
"My younger generation Chen Xu is here to thank the gentleman for his life-saving gratitude..."
Chen Xu reacted and immediately bowed to the young man solemnly.
"Okay, okay, there is no need for red tape in front of me in the future. I just saved you. I didn't expect you to repay you."
Xia Fan waved his hands at him casually without squinting his eyes.
"Sir, I have a doubt in my heart and always want to ask you boldly, are you... really from the immortal family?"
Chen Xu was silent for a moment, as if he mustered up a huge courage.
"What kind of immortal family? If I were really an immortal, would you think I would stay in this boring deep mountains and forests and escape from the world?" Xia Fan curled his lips.
"...But don't the rumored immortals like to live in seclusion among the pure mountains and rivers to practice?" Chen Xu said in a daze.
"Please, immortals, immortals are first, immortals are immortals, and humans will have seven emotions and six desires, even immortals are no exception. Without desire, what kind of immortals can cultivate? Because cultivating immortals itself is the greatest desire of immortals." Xia Fan said without thought. "Except for a few cultivators with extreme thoughts, most of the seemingly ruthless and desireless immortals just see through the world and focus on the way of the immortals..."
The first time I heard Chen Xu, a young man who explained this to an immortal, was refreshed. After all, this was very different from the image of an immortal he had heard of since childhood. But the question is how did the other party come up with this unique insight if he didn't have any understanding of an immortal?
"Boy, stop thinking about it. I am not an immortal, and I don't know how to do immortals. If you want to find an immortal, I'm probably looking for the wrong person."
Xia Fan seemed to see through the other party's thoughts at a glance and said bluntly.
"Mr. I misunderstood. I did not go deep into Qingping Mountain with the goal of seeking immortals..." Chen Xu quickly explained when he heard this.
"I'm too lazy to care about your purpose. Anyway, if you recover from the injury, get out of here. I won't leave any idle people here, especially those of you who are born in a powerful family at a glance." Xia Fan threw away the clean fruit core in his hand, turned around and walked away.
"Sir, wait for me..."
Chen Xu hurriedly followed.
"Is there anything else?"
Xia Fan continued to walk without looking back.
"Sir is the talent of Wang Zuo. Why should we avoid the hidden world in the mountains? As today's turmoil, bandits from all directions are rampant..."
Chen Xu could no longer help express his feelings, but before he could say that he was halfway through the words, Xia Fan, who was walking in front of him, started to chant slowly.
"Above the temple, rotten wood is the official, and between the walls of the palace, animals eat and pay. This has caused the wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people to be ruthless in the dynasty, and the servile and humble people to rule the country, which has turned into a ruin, and the people suffer from the suffering of corruption..."
After saying that, Xia Fan stopped, turned his head and looked at Chen Xu, who was stunned behind him and said with a smile.
"How is it? Is it okay?"
"Sir, a talented man..." Chen Xu nodded subconsciously.
"That's a big deal! If I hadn't been brainwashed after watching too many videos in the past, I would have remembered these words."
Unexpectedly, Xia Fan said a vulgar words and left.
"gentlemen!"
Chen Xu couldn't understand what Xia Fan said about brainwashing, and he didn't care about the bad attitude he showed.
From beginning to end, he did not forget the purpose of leaving the public mansion privately this time.
He wanted to find a real wise man to assist his father in purging the court, eliminating bad policies, and recreating the Qingming prosperous era during the period of the Emperor.
From what he saw and heard in the Qingping Mountains to his own witness that the bandits who once suffered the disaster can build a prosperous scenery together under the control of the other party. This made him firmly believe that convenience is a wise man in his mind who can help the world and the world and the people.
How could he give up easily if he did this?
"Now the country is in danger. Can a master like you, who is both virtuous and capable, have the heart to be in dire straits and suffering from the world's devastation?"
"You kid are really an iron-headed kid! I said that no matter what your purpose is, get out of here when your injury is healed and cause less trouble for me, otherwise don't blame me for driving you away now."
Xia Fan was always indifferent and even a little angry.
"gentlemen……"
After the words came, the young man Chen Xu suddenly knelt on the ground with his legs.
The next moment, Xia Fan appeared in front of him instantly and knocked the other party out of sight with a knife.
"I want to play the routine of not being able to kneel down for a long time? I think beautifully!"
Xia Fan looked at the young man who was lying on the ground and fainted with contempt, and casually attracted nearby villagers to take him back to the room.
"I always feel like I've dug a hole for myself."
Seeing the villagers carrying Chen Xu and walking further away, Xia Fan smacked his lips and said to himself.
Instead, he ignored the other party and gradually disappeared deep in the village.
...
...
When Chen Xu woke up, the sky was already dark. He twisted his neck and slowly got up, looking blankly at the familiar room in front of him.
After a few breaths, Chen Xu's youthful and handsome face gradually showed a hint of bitterness.
He remembered it.
He intended to express his sincerity from the bottom of his heart by kneeling down, but the other party rejected him with a rough means of knocking him out.
Since childhood, Chen Xu, who came from a prominent family, has been a first time in addition to Tiandi and Du Jun, and his relatives, that was the first time that he had put down his pride and dignity and knelt down to a stranger, but the other party had always sneered.
It is definitely false that the young and energetic Chen Xu had no emotions in his heart. Unfortunately, the other party was his life-saving benefactor and the hermit wise man he was begging for. Even if he was angry, he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Furthermore, looking at the unofficial history and miscellaneous talks, Chen Xu, who is well-read in poetry and books, knows that most of these hermits are strange in nature, so he has been prepared for this mentality, but it is said that it is one thing, but it is another to experience it personally.
If it were a violent and arrogant person, he might draw his sword to face him.
"Young Master, you are finally awake? Come and have something to eat."
At this time, the peasant woman who had been taking care of Chen Xu walked in with her food.
"Thank you aunt."
Seeing this, Chen Xu hurriedly stepped forward to take over the meal.
"Young Master, I heard that you made the immortal grow up angry today?"
The peasant woman did not leave after delivering food like she used to, but instead asked Chen Xu carefully.
"Maybe." Chen Xu sighed softly when he heard this.
"Young Master, I advise you, it's best not to make the immortals angry again..." The serf immediately said nervously.
"I naturally know this."
Chen Xu nodded with a depression. He was not a careless person. From the moment when the other party would rather knock him out than accept his kneeling and begging, he knew that the other party really had no idea of leaving the mountain.
So what if you don’t give up? In the end, you will only make the other party even worse.
only--
He suddenly noticed that when the peasant woman reminded her tone, her expression and tone were mixed with a hint of unspeakable fear?
Immediately, while the peasant woman had not left, Chen Xu, who was eating, asked inadvertently.
"Auntie, have you ever seen the immortal look really angry?"
"...Haha, please use it slowly, I'll leave first."
However, the peasant woman was not fooled, but just showed an ugly smile and hurriedly left.
Something weird!
There is no doubt that the performance of the peasant woman aroused Chen Xu's curiosity.
If you think about it carefully, he actually knows too little about young mysterious people.
