Since Xiao Hairen ate Jiutian Pitaya and soaked in Xuantian Sky Spirit Milk, his appearance, mind, and physical strength have all made a qualitative leap. He doesn't feel hungry or thirsty even if he doesn't eat or drink for a day, and he doesn't feel thirsty even if he doesn't sleep all day and night.
Feeling tired.
Because Xiao Hairen was begging all the way and inquiring about the way, he often took unnecessary steps, and the year passed quickly. Now it's the New Year's Eve again. On this day, Xiao Hairen came to a town called Beigukou.
It is relatively large. Although the weather is very cold, looking at the hurried pedestrians on the streets of the town, you can't see the slightest chill.
Every passer-by has a smile on their face. It seems that people here are very satisfied with their lives.
Vendors hawking on the street shouted "cut" vigorously to attract business.
Little Hairen stopped in front of a stall selling rice cakes. Looking at the rice cakes, Little Hairen thought of the time when he was at home. Although his family was not wealthy, his mother, who was very handy, would make many rice cakes of various shapes every year, including little rabbits.
, goldfish, peaches, piglets, little monkeys and other shapes. This is the happiest time for me. I can eat rice cakes and set off firecrackers... But this year I am alone, very lonely.
Seeing a child buying rice cakes eating with gusto, Xiao Hairen swallowed unconsciously. Although he won't be hungry even if he doesn't eat for a day or two after taking Jiutian dragon fruit, Xiao Hairen is a person after all.
Children who are less than eight years old still want to eat rice cakes unconsciously when they see other children eating them.
The stall owner saw the ragged little Hairen standing in front of his rice cake stall for a long time and refused to leave. He felt compassion for him. He grabbed four rice cakes from the stall, wrapped them in paper and handed them to the little Hairen, saying: "Children, eat it."
, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it’s not easy to be alone outside, it’s really a sin... It’s not enough.” After saying that, he shook his head and went to work again.
When little Hairen opened the paper bag and took a look, tears flowed down her eyes. It turned out that the rice cakes inside were her favorite and her mother's best rice cakes - piglets and goldfish. Looking at the rice cakes, little Hairen
Smell the smell of mother again... With tears in his eyes, little Hairen carefully ate one, then wrapped the remaining rice cake in paper and put it in his arms, planning to eat it again when he misses his mother in the future.
eat.
At this moment, Xiao Hairen heard the stall owner selling rice cakes and the stall owner selling firecrackers next to him say: "Old Li, I'm just doing business this year. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I haven't asked anyone to write the Spring Festival couplets at home yet, and the ghostwriter in the town has also come back.
I went to celebrate the New Year in the countryside, oh, Lao Li, how could I have forgotten this?"
Xiao Hairen heard this and said: "Uncle, I know how to write Spring Festival couplets. In order to thank you for sending rice cakes, if uncle doesn't mind the brat and can trust me, how about I let the boy write Spring couplets for you?"
The rice cake stall owner said: "That's great. As long as you can write Spring Festival couplets, it's okay. I've almost sold the rice cakes. Now let's go home and ask your aunt to make you something delicious. After eating,
Let's write Spring Festival couplets again." After saying this, the stall owner closed the stall and took Xiao Hairen home. On the way, Xiao Hairen learned that the stall owner's surname was Wang. In addition to the couple, the family also had a son who worked in a restaurant in the town.
The manager, because the restaurant business is very busy, rarely goes home throughout the year.
When we arrived at Uncle Wang's house, Aunt Wang quickly set up a table of food. Little Hairen had not eaten hot rice or hot dishes for more than a year. He wolfed down the food so much that Aunt Wang wiped her eyes with her sleeves and said:
"Children, eat slowly and don't choke. It's really a crime that such a young child wanders alone, ugh!"
Little Hairen finished his meal quickly. Uncle Wang took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Little Hairen took up the pen and wrote a couplet on the red paper, "As time goes by, people live longer, and the world is filled with blessings and wealth." He also wrote "A good harvest and a good harvest."
Bid farewell to the old year, and welcome the new year with prosperous animals." "Wealth will be prosperous every year, happiness will fall from the sky, and every day will be good." "Good fortune will come to your family and people, and peace and happiness will come at all times." etc.
While Xiao Hairen was writing, Uncle Wang's son Wang Feng came back. As soon as he entered the door, he first greeted his two elders. Then he stood next to Xiao Hairen and started reading. When Xiao Hairen handed over the last piece of paper with the word "福"
When he finished writing, Wang Feng said: "My little brother's calligraphy is self-contained. It seems that he must be from a scholarly home. I wonder where he is from?"
Xiao Hairen said: "My family is originally from Qingquan Town. This autumn, I went to Beijing with my mother to look for my father. Unexpectedly, we were robbed on the way. My mother and little sister were both killed unfortunately, so I ended up living on the streets."
Wang Feng said: "The restaurant I am responsible for in town is an industry of Kongtong Mountain. Now we are short of a bookkeeper. If you are interested, you can apply. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you will go to Cangyun Cave with me to deliver the offerings.
I also have a companion on the road. If little brother catches the chance and is accepted by an immortal leader as a registered disciple, he can not only practice immortal arts but also get a better salary. Alas, I have no chance."
After hearing this, Xiao Hairen's heart moved and he said: "Brother Wang, I am willing to go to the restaurant, but I don't know how to apply for the job. Please give me some advice."
Wang Feng said: "Okay, I will take you to see Shopkeeper Liu this afternoon and tell you that you are my distant cousin and I believe you will be hired."
That afternoon, Wang Feng took Xiao Hairen to a restaurant called "Yanbin Restaurant". The restaurant was three stories high and very grand. It could be said to be the largest and most impressive restaurant in Beigukou Town. Wang Feng introduced Xiao Hairen to Liu
The shopkeeper, shopkeeper Liu, took great care of him after hearing that he was Wang Feng's distant cousin, and after looking at Xiao Hairen's writing, he hired Xiao Hairen at that time, paying two taels of silver per month. From now on, Xiao Hairen is finally over.
He lived a wandering life for more than a year. This was also the beginning of his real journey towards an extraordinary life.
Xiao Hairen, who had changed into new clothes, sat behind the counter and carefully recorded the accounts every day. Shopkeeper Liu was very satisfied. Xiao Hairen learned from the waiter that the "Yanbin Building" was the private property of Cangyun Cave in Kongtong Mountain of the Xiuzhen sect.
There are many such industries across the country. All restaurants with Iron Bagua under their plaques are industries of Cangyun Cave, because cultivating the truth is very consuming of financial resources, and ordinary people cannot do it in their ordinary homes. Shopkeepers from all over the country are
The registered disciples and stewards of Cangyun Cave are also people whom Cangyun Cave Outer Hall - Secular Hall trusts very much.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month will soon be here. In the past few days, Shopkeeper Liu and Brother Wang Feng have been sorting out the accounts and packing up the offerings, preparing to report to the Foreign Affairs Hall of Cangyun Cave in Kongtong Mountain early. If there is a good opportunity, the Hall Master
It would be even better if you would be rewarded with an "elixir" or something when you are happy. Xiao Hairen was also very busy. While helping shopkeeper Liu and Brother Wang Feng prepare things, he was thinking about how he could meet the master of Yunhe Cave when he arrived at Cangyun Cave.
After completing what I promised to the old man, how can I become a registered disciple? What unique skills can I learn to avenge my mother and sister?
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month finally arrived. Wang Feng and Xiao Hairen took the offerings on the road. On the way, Xiao Hairen asked: "Brother Wang, is Cangyun Cave big? Have you ever been in it? Can you see the cave owner?" Facing Xiao Hai,
Ren asked questions like a barrage, and Wang Feng smiled and said: "Brother Hairen, Cangyun Cave is a sect. It consists of many halls and courtyards. There are many immortals in cultivation. We foreign affairs personnel cannot enter the sect. We can only stay in the secular world."
If you have a good opportunity, you can enter the mountain gate with the cultivation disciples. If there is no one to introduce you, you will not be able to enter the mountain gate, and you will not even find the mountain gate."
Xiao Hairen said: "Brother Wang, I want to become a registered disciple, but I don't know how to achieve my goal. Can you give me some advice?"
Wang Feng said: "There are no disciples of Cangyun Cave. I heard that one has to have a pure body and a spiritual root. Registered disciples also need to look at opportunities. Thinking of other methods will not work at all. I'm sorry, brother, big brother
I can’t help you either.”
Soon the two came to the reception station of the Secular Hall outside the town. A steward took a number plate and handed it to Wang Feng and said: "The third group will leave in a quarter of an hour on the Sky Eagle." At this time, they happened to see the second group.
The staff followed the steward out of the reception station, and out of curiosity, little Hairen also followed him out to see what the sky eagle looked like. As soon as they left the reception station, they saw a giant eagle parked in the open space, holding a hand under its talons.
There is a bamboo basket that can accommodate two people. After the second group of people sit in the bamboo basket, the giant eagle spreads its wings and flies to the sky.
While Xiao Hairen was marveling at the magic of the giant eagle, Wang Feng had already walked out. At this time, the sky darkened, and a giant eagle clutching a bamboo basket fell on the open ground. Wang Feng and Xiao Hairen sat on the flying eagle for two hours.
After flying, he finally landed in an open space. There were many people here, the things were mixed, and it was noisy. Wang Feng pulled Xiao Hairen out of the bamboo basket and said: "Brother, this is the secular hall, and I will be enshrining it later."
After the delivery, I will take you around for a while to see if you can be favored by any immortal leader and become a registered disciple. You can go around by yourself first, and I will come look for you when I go."
Xiao Hairen saw that he was the only child among the foreign affairs personnel who came here, and the others were adults. "Come here, my dear, who brought you here? Who is so unruly?" said a cold voice. Xiao Hairen
Following the sound, I found that it was a scholar in his thirties wearing royal blue clothes and leading a boy about his age who was wearing a brocade robe.
"I am the accountant of the Yanbin Building, and I am not a child. Why can't children come? Isn't the person led by the gentleman a child?" A series of cross-examinations made the blue-shirted scholar's face blush. "It's presumptuous. This is also true."
Are you, a foreign affairs officer, saying this to the new dean elder?" A childish voice came from the mouth of the boy in brocade robes. When Xiao Hairen heard that the scholar in blue shirt was an elder, he was moved in his heart and said: "Since he is an elder, what does that kid have?
I have a request to see the cave master, but I wonder if the elder can fulfill it?"
The blue-robed scholar said: "The cave master is in retreat. I wonder if my little friend can tell me what happened."
Xiao Hairen said: "This matter can only be reported to the cave master in person, but I believe that seniors will definitely know this jade pendant." After saying this, he took out the jade pendant from the Qiankun bag in his arms.
The scholar in blue shirt looked at the jade pendant and said very excitedly: "Since you have Uncle Gray Crane's jade pendant, then you are my registered disciple of Cangyun Cave. Someone will take this little brother to change clothes and report to the registered courtyard. The cave master only needs to come out."
Guan will immediately take my little brother to see the cave master."
The boy in the brocade robe said: "Dad, why is he a registered disciple? I haven't entered the door yet, I won't do it, I won't do it."
The blue-robed scholar said: "This little brother has the Yunhe Jade Pendant of your master's uncle. Just because of this, he is a registered disciple. If the opportunity is good, he may be a direct disciple. Although I, Ma Xingkong, am the elder responsible for recruiting disciples
, but at this point, you cannot abandon public service for personal reasons. If you don’t perform well in this life, don’t even think about entering the temple.”
At this time, Wang Feng came out after delivering the offerings, and happened to see the new dean, Ma Xingkong, educating his son. He smiled and saluted Ma Xingkong, saying: "Hello, Elder Ma, I haven't seen you for a year.
Better than ever."
Ma Xingkong said: "I know what you are thinking about, Xiao Wang. Wait until you go to the reward pavilion of Shishitang Hall to receive a Yuan-Pui Yuan Dan. You have worked hard these years."
After hearing this, Wang Feng's face was immediately filled with a smile, and he stuttered a little because of his excitement: "Thank you... Elder, I will work harder."
At this time, Xiao Hairen, who had changed into the uniform of a registered disciple, walked out accompanied by two young men wearing uniforms of registered disciples. He came to Wang Feng and said: "Brother Wang, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I
Now that you have become a registered disciple, I will not accompany you back." Wang Feng looked at Xiao Hairen and said, "Brother, I think you are not an ordinary person. Congratulations to you. Goodbye." After saying that, he waved goodbye to everyone and ran to reward him.
The leader of the pavilion, Pei Yuan Dan, has gone.
Xiao Hairen finally became a registered disciple of Cangyun Cave. What will be waiting for him on the road of cultivation?
