"Taoist Master, I beg of you, please accept me into your sect. I was originally from a wealthy family, but I was brutally massacred by villains. My family of three hundred people died by their swords, leaving only me and my younger sister to wander the martial world. Because I admired the prestige of the Taoist sect, I begged all the way to the front of the sect. I just want to become your disciple, seek the Dao, and cultivate the Dao. If you accept me into your sect, I will definitely …"
In the Chu Feng Dynasty of the Southern Kingdom, there was a long queue of hundreds of young people in front of the Qingyun Dao Sect's mountain gate at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, one of the nine spirit veins in the world. They were waiting for a fat Taoist to question them. At the front of the queue, there was a boy about ten years old crying. The boy's face was very dirty, but his eyes were very bright. His voice was sorrowful and pitiful.
The fat Taoist glanced at the boy impatiently and asked with slanted eyes, "Do you have a letter of recommendation?"
"No …" the boy answered embarrassedly.
"Do you have any treasures to offer?"
"No …"
"Do you have any rare physiques?"
"No …"
The fat Taoist asked and the boy answered. In the blink of an eye, the fat Taoist glared and kicked the boy, causing him to roll twice. He scolded, "If you don't have a letter of recommendation, you're a slut. If you don't have any treasures, you're a pauper. If you don't have a rare physique, you're trash. How dare a beggar like you come to our Blue Cloud Sect to become your disciple? Open your eyes wide and take a look. This isn't a charity house! "
The long queue at the back saw this scene and immediately burst into laughter.
Everyone felt that this boy was really ridiculous. He was penniless, yet he wanted to come to the Qingyun Dao Sect to become his disciple?
It had to be known that the Qingyun Dao Sect was a Dao sect of the Chu Country. It had three thousand years of history, and its status was respected. Its disciples were all top-notch experts. Take a recent incident as an example. In the northwest of the Chu Region, there was a gang of bandits that were running amuck and causing trouble. Even the government couldn't do anything about it. When the direct disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect, Xiao Jianming, found out about it, he used his sword and killed his way into the Ghost Smoke Valley. He killed nine of the ten most famous bandits in the Chu Region, and only one escaped.
It was also because of this that the Qingyun Taoist Sect had become more and more famous among the commoners in the Chu Region. Now, it happened to be the enrolment ceremony of the Taoist Sect that was held once every ten years. No one knew how many high-ranking officials and nobles wanted to send their children to the Taoist Sect for cultivation at all costs. For this reason, those with connections used their connections, and those with treasures offered their treasures. No matter how hard they tried, they could not find a way.
This child was empty-handed and looked like a beggar, yet he wanted to come and become their disciple. It was really wishful thinking.
The little boy was kicked, but he did not say a word. After walking for a hundred feet, he suddenly jumped and scolded, "You fat pig with ulcers on your head and your feet oozing pus. How dare you scold me for being poor with your short stature and ugly nose? I came to the Blue Cloud Sect to be your disciple because of you. You have eyes but failed to recognize me today. I'll burn down your lousy sect one day …"
"Little bastard, how dare you scold me!"
The fat Taoist was furious. He raised a long sword beside him and rushed over. The little boy fled at the sight of the situation, weaving in and out of the crowd. He was agile, and the fat Taoist could not catch up to him. He stood on the spot angrily, waving his sword and scolding.
The sudden appearance of such a scene in the originally solemn and dignified Qingyun Dao Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"A genius like me came to the Qingyun Dao Sect to be my disciple because I think highly of you. You'd better accept me as your disciple obediently. Otherwise, when I go to other Dao sects and cultivate unparalleled mystical powers, I'll definitely beat you up until you guys cry for your parents …"
When the little boy saw that the fat Taoist could not catch up to him, he immediately became smug and shouted at the fat Taoist arrogantly.
The fat Taoist was instantly enraged. He wanted to chase after him, but there were too many people there. He was fat and could not break through easily. However, he suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly, "Who can help me take down this kid? Let him register first …"
Hearing this, the little boy was shocked. He turned around and was about to escape.
However, when the people who were waiting to register heard that, many people immediately rushed forward to capture him. These people were all waiting to register, but it was a pity that there were thousands of people who came to register on the narrow mountain path. After queuing for half a day, the queue did not move forward at all. After hearing the fat Taoist's words, they naturally could not help but be tempted. If they could capture this little rascal, they could save themselves the trouble of queuing.
There were even people who thought that it was fine even if they could save themselves the trouble of queuing. The most important thing was to befriend the disciple of the Dao Sect in advance.
The little boy's figure was extremely slippery. Four or five young men couldn't even catch him. Just as he was about to escape from the encirclement of the crowd, a pale and skinny young man with cold eyes suddenly jumped out from the crowd and sneered, "You actually know martial arts. Unfortunately, it's not enough!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the little boy's collar, lifting him up.
The little boy struggled with all his might, but he could not escape from the young man's hands. He was like a small snake that had been grabbed by seven inches.
"Oh, thank you, brother. How should I address you?"
The fat Daoist ran over while panting. He was overjoyed when he saw the situation and quickly thanked the young man.
"Greetings, Senior Brother. I'm Hou Qing. I'm just helping you catch a little monkey. It's nothing much, it's not worth mentioning …"
The young man was very polite and said to the fat Taoist respectfully.
"Well said, well said. I'll teach this little bastard a lesson first, then I'll bring you to the front to register …"
The fat Taoist said with a smile. Then, he turned to look at the little boy and revealed a hint of ruthlessness. "I'm an outer sect disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect. How dare a lowly little beggar like you scold me? Even if I don't want your life today, I'll teach you a lesson! "
As he spoke, he jumped over and rubbed his palms, laughing sinisterly.
However, at the end of the day, as a disciple of the Dao Sect, he naturally could not hurt people. Even if the other party was a little beggar, he would at most give him two slaps to teach him a lesson.
"Don't … Don't hurt my Young Master …"
Suddenly, a little girl came out from the crowd and blocked in front of the fat Taoist.
She was as dirty as the little boy and looked to be only seven or eight years old. She was thin, but her facial features were very delicate. Her eyes were very lively, and the most shocking thing was that her ears were a little pointed, making her look like a fox. Her eyes were also faintly green, making her look a little demonic. It seemed like she was not a pure-blooded human, but a mixed-blood barbarian.
"Stinky Xiao Man, why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to hide at the side? "
The little boy was still being carried in the air, but he immediately scolded when he saw the situation.
"Young Master, if I didn't come out, he would have beaten you …"
The barbarian maid said aggrievedly, still stubbornly extending her hands to block the fat Taoist.
"I'm very capable. Do I need you to stand up for me? Hurry up and scram to the side … "
The little boy bared his fangs and brandished his claws, making people want to laugh. Although he was not very capable, his tone was not small.
"A little beggar like him has a barbarian as a maid?"
The fat Taoist clicked his tongue in wonder. He looked at the pretty appearance of the barbarian maid and seemed to be drooling with desire.
In this world, this kind of people were called "barbarians". They were the lowest race in the world. The demon race did not recognize them, and the human race looked down on them even more. Even if they raised one or two, they would either be pampered concubines or lowly servants. However, even if they were lowly servants, ordinary families would not be able to afford to raise them. This little boy looked like a beggar, but he had a barbarian servant. It was very strange.
"Hmph, filthy lowly human race …"
Hou Qing, who was carrying the little boy, sneered. His eyes turned cold, and he kicked the little girl away.
"Bastard, you dare to bully my Xiao Man, I will definitely kill you …"
The little boy screamed like a madman, kicking and punching, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws.
The young man with the surname Hou kicked the little barbarian maid, and she flew dozens of feet away, crashing into a tree. Although the young man did not kick her to death, he still fell and his head was covered with blood. He lay on the ground, motionless. The onlookers were shocked, but no one stepped forward to accuse him. After all, he was just a little barbarian demon. Even in the secular world, he was like an ant. No one cared about his life or death.
"I hate barbarians the most in my life. Senior Brother, please don't laugh at me …"
Hou Qing also felt that he had used too much force, and smiled embarrassedly.
"Uh … I didn't defend … I didn't defend …"
The fat Taoist said embarrassedly. Deep in his heart, he also felt that Hou Qing was a cruel person, but it was not convenient for him to say it.
As for the little boy who was struggling in Hou Qing's hands, no matter how he scolded him, no one cared about him.
"Ah, that little barbarian demon girl's blood … why is it like this?"
Suddenly, someone cried out in a low voice. Everyone turned to look, and saw that blood was flowing out from the forehead of the little demon barbarian, staining the surrounding weeds. To their surprise, they discovered that the weeds, which had withered and turned yellow because of the harsh autumn and winter, were slowly coming back to life. New leaves slowly grew out, verdant and glistening, like jasper, as if water was about to drip out. It was extremely amazing.
"Wood Spirit Bloodline … this little girl actually has the rare Wood Spirit Bloodline …"
Among the people who wanted to be apprenticed, they were either rich or noble, and most of them had some knowledge. Immediately, someone cried out softly.
For a moment, the crowd was bustling with discussion. Some were shocked, some were despising, and some were envious.
The Wood Spirit Bloodline was one of the strange bloodlines in the world. It had a miraculous effect on the growth of plants.
This kind of bloodline was a rare bloodline that was fought over by the Taoist sects.
From the question and answer between the fat Taoist and the little boy, it could be seen that the Taoist sects valued the apprentices differently.
If one had a letter of recommendation from someone related to the Taoist sects, one could be apprenticed to the Taoist sects.
If one had a rich family and bought treasures to send to the Taoist sects, one could be apprenticed to the Taoist sects.
If one had a rare physique, then even if one was penniless, it did not matter. One could still be valued by the Taoist sects!
This little boy had none of the three, causing everyone to laugh at him.
But who would have thought that the little barbarian servant girl of the little boy actually had such a strange Wood Spirit Bloodline?
Not long after, the discussion of the crowd had alarmed the Taoist sects. Not long after, it alerted an important figure in the sect.
About half an hour later, a woman in white with a cold expression came flying over on a huge white crane. This white crane was at least a hundred feet long. When it flapped its wings, it almost created an earth-shattering hurricane in front of the mountain gate. It was obviously a demon bird that had been tamed. On the back of the white crane behind her, there was also a little girl with two drooping horns.
"Ah, outer sect disciple Yu Sanliang, greets Senior Sister Lingyun …"
When the fat Taoist saw this, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
Although the young people who were waiting to be apprenticed to the Taoist sects did not know this woman, they hurriedly bowed and addressed her as Senior Sister.
However, the woman named Lingyun seemed to ignore them. She glanced around and saw the demonic barbarian servant girl lying on the grass by the side of the road. She gestured for the white crane to land. She came to the side of the servant girl and picked up the grass beside her to take a look. Then, she used her index finger to touch the blood of the servant girl and sniffed it gently. She nodded with a smile on her face, as if she had confirmed something.
"Add this person to the list of disciples who will be apprenticed this time!"
Senior Sister Lingyun picked up the servant girl and stood up. Without looking at the fat Taoist priest, she instructed him.
"Yes … Yes … Senior Sister Lingyun, I understand …"
Although she was just a barbarian girl, she was undoubtedly an official disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect now that Senior Sister Lingyun had spoken.
Everyone stole glances and were extremely envious. From a barbarian to an official disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect, it could be said that she had a meteoric rise.
Even the little boy in Hou Qing's arms stared blankly at that scene with his mouth wide open in shock.
Senior Sister Lingyun carried the servant girl and was about to step onto the back of the crane to fly away. Suddenly, the servant girl in her arms moved and said softly, "Don't hit Young Master … Don't hit … Young Master Fang Xing …"
Senior Sister Lingyun was slightly stunned and asked expressionlessly, "Who is Young Master Fang Xing?"
The little boy was stunned and immediately raised his hand. "I … I'm Young Master Fang Xing. Return my servant girl to me …"
Senior Sister Lingyun glanced at him and said indifferently, "From today onwards, she is no longer your servant girl!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and tossed a small jade porcelain over. The porcelain was purple in color and was small and exquisite.
"Connate Purple Qi Pill …"
The fat Taoist priest cried out and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
'In order to help a barbarian servant girl get rid of her servant status, she actually gave him such a spirit pill? '
When the people around saw that, many of their eyes were filled with fanaticism as if they couldn't wait to swallow the little boy.
'Connate Purple Qi Pill is a good item that can change one's muscles and hair. How can it be given to a little beggar so easily? '
Many people had the thought of snatching it at that moment.
The little boy looked at the Connate Purple Qi Pill and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. However, when he saw that the woman named Lingyun was about to leave with the Xiao Man, he suddenly reacted and yelled, "You can't go! Who agreed to exchange this lousy pill for my little girl? I'm not exchanging. Take the pill and leave the girl behind … "
"Huh?"
Senior Sister Lingyun turned her gaze back and the murderous intent in her eyes made him shut up all of a sudden.
"I … I don't want the pill …"
The little boy mustered his courage and stammered, "Unless … Unless you accept me into the sect …"
The people who were secretly blaming the little boy for not knowing what was good for him suddenly realized that this kid was waiting for them here.
Senior Sister Lingyun was also slightly stunned. Then, she smiled and said to the fat Taoist priest with slight disdain, "Count him in, but I think his aptitude is only average and his character is a little wild. Just put him in the herbal field and train him well!"
"Uh, Junior Brother, as you wish …"
The fat Taoist priest was stunned for a moment before he bowed and agreed.
