Seeing the sudden appearance of Han Bin, both father and son were stunned. Han Fei even sneered and said sarcastically: "You look like you, and you still want to cultivate immortality. I think it's better to go home and farm." He and Han Fei sneered.
Although the time of contact with Han Bin was not long, he often heard his father talk about Han Bin's family situation and how he wanted to curry favor with his family. After listening for a long time, his impression of Han Bin was not much better.
Han Tianlong's words were relatively tactful. He said with a smile: "Nephew, your body is indeed unable to cultivate immortality. You should stay in the house to cultivate! Besides, even if you meet an immortal, you may not be accepted."
In fact, he didn't say anything else: It's fine if you don't accept me, but don't hurt our son.
Han Bin's face darkened. After what the other party had said, there was probably no hope left, but he couldn't give up this last hope. He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, I can understand if you don't take me with you.
Tell me where to accept disciples, and I'll look for them myself." He just heard Han Fei say that the immortal is in the city, but Tianfeng City is so big and he is not familiar with the place, where can he find it? It's not that he hasn't thought about asking, but
Can ordinary people know where the Immortal is? He is a child in a mountain village, and it is his first time in the city. He doesn’t know anything about the things in the city. If he knew that the Immortal’s disciples were in the state religion, he would not ask such a question.
What nonsense.
When Han Fei heard this, he became even more disdainful and said: "Cousin, I advise you not to go. Our Han family cannot afford to lose this person."
"You..." Han Bin had been holding back, but now he couldn't hold it anymore and shouted at Han Fei, "What do you want?" He didn't dare to do anything to his uncle, but a man of about the same age as himself
How could he bear it when people ridiculed him many times? After all, he was still half a child, and he was the most impulsive at this age.
Seeing Han Bin getting angry, Han Fei was not angry, but happy. He smiled and said: "I don't know what I am capable of, but I have a bad temper. I feel ashamed to have a cousin like you." He turned to look at Han Tianlong.
, said: "Father, let's not be like the people in the village. We take care of his food and housing. He still wants to ride on our heads. Let's go."
Han Tianlong really doted on his son. Hearing his son say such words, he felt that it was reasonable and nodded: "Let's go! What does a villager know? He actually wants to become an immortal. It's really ridiculous."
Seeing the two people walking away, Han Bin was heartbroken. Could he just give up and return home like this, waiting for death to approach. No, I can't do this. Han Fei can be favored by immortals, and so can I. Han Bin
He has been stubborn since he was a child and has extraordinary perseverance. Whatever he decides, no matter whether it is wrong or right, he will continue to do so.
Early the next morning, Han Tianlong took his son on a carriage and headed to a branch of the state religion in Tianfeng City.
The so-called branch of the state religion is actually people who serve the state religion. They are not real disciples and have no qualifications to practice Taoism. They can only be responsible for collecting intelligence and transporting supplies. Their status is extremely low in the state religion, but in the empire
But they have a considerable status. After all, they are the ones who communicate directly with the state religion. The orders issued by the state religion are also announced to the world by them, and their authority is even much higher than that of the imperial list.
Shortly after the carriage left, Han Bin followed. The guard at the gate knew Han Bin and did not stop him.
After Han Bin came out, he blended into the crowd and quietly followed the carriage.
All people in the Ming Empire believe in the state religion, and there is a place to pray and worship heaven in the state religion altar. No matter big or small, people will come here to pray to heaven. On weekdays, the place is full of incense and there is a constant flow of people. Early this morning, the state religion announced the recruitment of disciples
After hearing the news, within an hour, tens of thousands of people came, including officials and civilians, and even the city lord came with his daughter.
The state religion is extremely strict in accepting disciples, and you have to rely on connections to enter. This is something that many people know. But I don’t know what happened this year. Compared with the past, the requirements for accepting disciples are much simpler. As long as the child is under ten
Anyone between the ages of 15 and 15, with no disability, can apply, regardless of gender.
In front of the altar of the state religion is a huge square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. When Han Tianlong came with his son, the whole square was already full of people. Seeing this scene, even Han Tianlong, who had been in officialdom and shopping malls for many years, was stunned.
He was startled and said in surprise: "With so many people, is it really easy for the state religion to recruit disciples?"
The two got off the carriage and walked forward. Since Han Tianlong was wearing official uniform, the civilians next to him did not stop him. They looked at him with envy and envy. His son walked to the front. When he arrived, he was still more than ten years away from the gate.
When he got married, Han Tianlong didn't dare to step forward because the people in front of him were all officials, and every official position was higher than his.
At this time, an official standing at the front suddenly turned around. When he saw Han Tianlong, he smiled slightly and said, "Old Han, you are here too."
Han Tianlong's face lit up, and he hurriedly pulled his son towards the other party. As he walked, he said, "Mr. City Lord, why are you here too?"
City Lord Ling Tianxiang smiled slightly and said: "Of course, how could I not come for such a big event? It's a pity that I only have one daughter who is of the right age, otherwise I really want to bring a few more." He looked at Han Fei again and said, "You
Are you here with your son?" Beside him, there was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a light green dress, with an oval face and big blinking eyes, she looked very cute.
Han Tianlong hurriedly raised his hands and complimented: "Lord City Lord, your daughter is not comparable to a dog. The state religion will definitely choose her." He has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has a deep understanding of the truth that horses can be used on anyone.
.
Ling Tianxiang also knew that he loved to pat horses, so he asked him to come here just to hear him pat him once in front of all the officials.
Not to mention, this time I really captured Ling Tianxiang's heart. He smiled and said: "You are right. The immortal has already seen her and said that she is extremely talented and can definitely enter the national religion." After all, he is also a city.
Lord, he could still do it by dragging a back door and letting the immortal see if his daughter is qualified. No, it was the immortal who agreed that he brought his daughter here. Otherwise, if he didn't succeed, wouldn't he be embarrassed in front of so many people?
Old face.
At this moment, the door of the state church's altar opened, and an old man wearing red robes came out. Although his hair was white, his eyes were bright and clear, and the clothes on his body were billowing gently in the absence of wind.
, giving people a feeling of Taoist immortality. Behind him, there were two disciples in white, also wearing white Taoist robes, but their aura was much worse than him.
After the old man came out, he waved his long sleeves and said loudly: "People, this time the state religion wants to select some outstanding disciples to enter the sect to practice immortality. As long as they meet the regulations, regardless of status, they can come." At this point.
, his voice condensed, and he continued: "If anyone dares to pretend to be someone of age, he will be dealt with according to the national law."
Not to mention, there are really a few people in the square who want to use the small to match the big, and the big to match the small. At this moment, after hearing the immortal's words, they quickly stopped their thoughts. The national law dealt with it, which was a serious crime in the Ming Empire. The lighter ones will be temporarily punished.
Execution, severe cases include beheading the whole family, and even killing all nine clans.
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his long sleeves and turned around to enter the state church. At the same time, he left a sentence, "All children who meet the requirements come in, and the adults will wait outside the door." Between the ages of ten and fifteen, in the eyes of mortals, they are already mature.
He is considered a boy. A fifteen-year-old boy can even be said to be an adult. But in the world of immortals, he can only be regarded as a child, because immortals can live to be at least two hundred years old.
Although there are many people in the square, it is usually adults with children, and there are even many people who come to watch. The number of children who fit the situation is only a few hundred. The children enter the gate one by one, and when the last child enters
, two believers in black closed the door. Just as it was about to close, a young man's voice suddenly sounded, "Wait a minute, there's me."
The two believers were stunned. They looked along the crack in the door and saw a young man running towards them. They said impatiently: "Hurry up."
This young man is Han Bin who has been following us all the way. He has been here for a while. He is alone and there are no adults around. No one takes him seriously and thinks that he is just a child watching the fun. Han Bin
When he ran up at the end, everyone in the square was slightly startled, and they all gave way in unison.
Han Tianlong was chatting with the city lord. When he saw Han Bin running towards him, he couldn't help but was stunned and shouted: "Why are you here?"
Ling Tianxiang asked doubtfully: "Do you know him?"
"No, I don't know him." Han Tianlong said hurriedly, "I saw him begging for food on the street earlier. He was very pitiful, so I gave him some charity. I didn't expect that he was so brave that he actually wanted to be an immortal." He loves face so much.
People don't say that having a relative in the country would be more uncomfortable than killing him.
Hearing this, Ling Tianxiang scanned the crowd and saw that no family members came. He sighed: "It's rare, it's rare!" After saying that, he shouted to Han Bin who ran towards the door: "Little guy, I'm optimistic about you.
." For a beggar to be able to come here to cultivate immortality at this time, he must have suffered so much ridicule and ridicule. Even if he could not succeed, most children would not be able to achieve this kind of courage.
Han Bin ran forward, turned back, and showed a sincere smile to Ling Tianxiang. This was the first time since he left the village that he met someone who truly encouraged him.
Han Tianlong was stunned and said: "City Lord, what are you doing?"
"This kid is extraordinary!" Ling Tianxiang looked at Han Bin's retreating figure and said something intriguing.
After being in the officialdom for so many years, even his thoughts have gradually become corrupted, but he still has a good eye for people. When he first saw Han Bin, he felt that this kid was not simple. As for his future achievements, even he couldn't explain clearly.
.After being the city lord for so many years, he has met countless people, and many people can understand it at a glance. The feeling Han Bin gave him was like the sea, vast and boundless, with no end in sight.
After Han Bin entered the state religion branch, everyone's eyes fell on him except the old man in red who had his eyes closed.
Han Fei was even more startled and lost his voice: "Why is it him?"
Ling Shuang'er, the daughter of the city lord, was next to him. She blinked her big eyes and asked curiously: "Do you know him?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Han Fei. No one believed Han Fei even if he said he didn't know him. He just said: "I can't say I know him. I saw him before when he was begging at a joint and gave away things."
Like father, like son, his words are almost exactly the same as those of Han Tianlong.
Although the two people's voices were not loud, it was unusually quiet in the state church compound, and all the children could hear them clearly.
At this time, many children began to discuss in low voices.
"Beggars can come to practice immortality, can't we also become immortals?"
"Yes! But it's so funny that a beggar becomes a saint."
"What is the identity of an immortal? Is he qualified to be a beggar?"
The faces of the two white-clothed disciples also changed slightly. Then they looked at the old man and saw that he had his eyes closed and was concentrating. He waved to the believer in front of the gate. The believer understood and said sternly to Han Bin: "You, get out.
"Because the immortal was here, he spoke politely and did not add the word "gun" like before.
