Zhang Ze couldn't remember it for a moment, but he decided to follow Han Li to have a look. His intuition told him that this was a cruel person.
Han Li was walking home carrying dry firewood when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a handsome young man, so he asked, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
"Hello Han Li, my name is Rakshasa, and I just moved to the village." Zhang Ze showed a kind smile and explained: "I am not familiar with this place. I want to make a friend and go to the mountains to chop wood together in the future."
The simple-minded Han Li felt very comfortable when he heard that Zhang Ze didn't call him a fool like others, and his attitude towards Zhang Ze softened a lot. He nodded and said: "I don't know anything else, but I didn't say anything about cutting firewood. You will follow me from now on." Me."
"Thank you." Zhang Ze thanked him repeatedly.
Han Li lifted the pile of dry firewood that was half a person's height on his back and said, "Follow me home first. After I meet the distinguished guests, I will take you up the mountain."
Zhang Ze was getting what he wanted, so he followed Han Li towards his home.
Han Li's home is very dilapidated, with low mud walls, thatched roof, and air leakage from all sides.
Mother Han was standing at the door of her house looking around. When she saw Han Li coming back, she waved her hands: "Hurry up and don't keep your second uncle waiting."
"Coming!"
Han Li quickened his pace, but the pile of dry firewood he was carrying was too heavy, making it difficult to move fast.
Suddenly, Han Li felt a lightness on his body. When he looked back, he found that it was Zhang Ze who was helping him lift the pile of wood.
"Thank you, Rakshasa."
Zhang Ze said with a smile: "We are all friends, no need to be polite."
Han Li felt warm in his heart. He didn't have many good friends in this village, otherwise he wouldn't be called a fool.
After returning home and putting down the pile of firewood, Han Li took Zhang Ze into the house and asked him to find a place to sit down and rest while he went to the back room to meet his guests.
Zhang Ze looked into the back room and saw a middle-aged farm man talking to a round-faced man in rich clothes.
"Hello, second uncle." Han Li greeted the round-faced man respectfully, then stood next to the farm man and listened to the elders' words.
Han Li's second uncle looked Han Li up and down, praising Han Li as "smart" and "sensible", and finally mentioned the purpose of his visit.
Zhang Ze also sat in the outer room and listened carefully. It turned out that Han Li, the second uncle, was an outer disciple of the Xuantian Sect. This time he was sent by the sect to return to the village to handle the matter of recruiting disciples.
According to him, the disciple-selecting elder of Xuantian Sect will arrive in the village early tomorrow morning. He must arrange everything in advance and not make any mistakes and delay the elder's time.
"Brother, Xuantian Sect's recruitment is a great opportunity. As long as you can enter the sect, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
"If it is discovered that you have the potential to become an immortal, your future will be even brighter!"
Han Li's second uncle pointed at Han Li and said, "I think Han Li is a pretty good kid. You should also let him try."
"Second brother, can our Han Li do it?" Han's father said with a doubtful expression: "A while ago, a Taoist priest passed by the village. I specially spent three big bucks to ask him for help to see if Han Li could cultivate immortality. He has great potential, but the Taoist priest said that he has bad bones and has no hope..."
Han Li's second uncle waved his hand and cursed: "Don't listen to the nonsense of those stinky old men! As long as I'm here, I guarantee that Han Li can join the Xuantian Sect!"
After saying that, he lowered his voice and said: "I am relatively familiar with the disciple-selecting elder. Just say a few nice words. Moreover, Xuantian Sect's outer sect is currently short of manpower. Although it will be a little tiring, as long as you join the sect, you will have more opportunities in the future." If you have the opportunity to become an inner disciple, even if your potential is really low and there is no hope of cultivating immortality, it is still better than living in this remote mountain all your life!"
Seeing that Father Han was still hesitating, Uncle Han Li persuaded him: "Brother, why are you hesitating? I am also an outer disciple. Do you think I am not doing well now?"
Han's father weighed it again and again, and finally made up his mind to let Han Li sign up.
The two brothers chatted about other things, and then Uncle Han Li stood up and left.
"Second uncle."
Uncle Han Li had just walked out of the yard of Han Li's house when he heard Han Li calling him from behind. He turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Second uncle, can you do me a favor and let my friend join the Xuantian Sect?"
Han Li pushed Zhang Ze forward and looked at his second uncle with a begging look on his face.
"Hmm..." Uncle Han Li stroked his mustache and looked at Zhang Ze up and down, nodded and said: "He looks pretty good, okay, I'll tell the elder later and let you two join the sect together. "
"Great! Thank you, uncle!"
Han Li was overjoyed, while Zhang Ze's expression was much calmer.
Compared with Han Li, Zhang Ze joined the sect not to change his destiny, but to clear the demonic realm.
Later, Han Li took Zhang Ze up the mountain to chop firewood, and the two of them worked until the sun went down before returning to the village.
Han Li was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely, but when he saw Zhang Ze's relaxed expression, he couldn't help but praise: "Aze, you have great physical strength. You are not tired even after chopping so much firewood."
Zhang Ze smiled and said nothing. After being in the Demon Realm for so long, his body is quite strong now.
Zhang Ze gave all the dry firewood to Han Li because Han Li helped him persuade him to join the Xuantian Sect.
At first Han Li refused to accept it, but he couldn't defeat Zhang Ze and had to accept it.
"Good brother!" Han Li patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder and said seriously: "In the future, we will join Xuantian Sect. We will take care of each other and work together to become immortals!"
Zhang Ze smiled and nodded.
Watching Han Li go home, Zhang Ze looked at the moon above his head. He had no home to return to.
Calculating the time, it's a bit early to log off now. According to the time in this demonic realm, he can stay for a few more days.
So Zhang Ze found a big tree, jumped to the top of the tree, and prepared to spend the night here.
"I wonder how everyone is doing?"
Lying on a branch, Zhang Ze opened the team channel and checked everyone's messages.
[Giant God]: It is said that a sect has come to recruit disciples in Ming Dynasty. Let’s find a safe place to spend the night first.
[Little Princess Money]: This shabby village doesn’t even have a hotel. I don’t want to live in the wilderness!
[Irritable Dragon King]: Even if you have a hotel, do you have money? Now we are wearing rags and rags, we have no weapons, equipment, props, etc., and our skills cannot be used. The message "insufficient cultivation" is displayed. I am really convinced!
[Knowing Autumn Overnight]: We are now ordinary people or poor people. Of course we no longer have weapons and equipment, but in the future when we get the "Qiankun Bag", these things will come back.
As for skills, we can gradually recover by improving our cultivation. I remember it was mentioned in the "Guide" that you can use skills as long as your cultivation reaches the golden elixir stage, so everyone should practice hard.
[Escape]: Hee hee, I'm much luckier, an aunt let me stay at her house.
[Moonlight Bunny]: I’m so envious, I can only use heaven and earth as my bed. Woo hoo hoo... (crying expression)
…
"Are the skills useless?" Zhang Ze was slightly surprised. He opened his skill bar. Sure enough, all three of his skills showed "insufficient cultivation".
Frowning his brows, Zhang Ze secretly said: "I have nothing but better attributes now. The Demon Realm is dangerous, so I have to be more careful."
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, just after dawn, the roosters in the village began to crow.
Zhang Ze jumped down from the tree and headed to the agreed place - the open space at the head of the village.
At this time, almost everyone in the village came, some with their children ready to sign up, and some just to watch the fun.
"Rakshasa!"
Hearing Han Li's shout, Zhang Ze walked towards him. Han Li's second uncle stood aside and kept looking towards the sky.
"It's coming! It's coming! Be quiet!"
Uncle Han Li looked serious and loudly reminded the surrounding villagers, and the noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
I saw a white-robed man in his fifties flying from the horizon. He had a flying sword on his feet. He was calm and calm, looking like an immortal.
When the man in white robe landed on the ground, Uncle Han Li hurriedly stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "Elder, you have worked hard all the way. I have already arranged everything. I am just waiting for you to choose a disciple."
"Yes." The man in white robe responded casually and said, "Let them come over and let me take a look."
"Yes!" Uncle Han Li responded respectfully, turning around and waving to Han Li and others: "Anyone who wants to sign up to join the Xuantian Sect, come here quickly."
Suddenly, more than a dozen children ran over. Zhang Ze followed Han Li and ran to the white-robed elder, waiting for selection.
The white-robed elder glanced casually and pointed with his finger: "This, this, and this... don't want the others."
This attitude was like picking carrots at the vegetable market. He didn't treat these children as human beings at all.
When Han Li's second uncle saw that Han Li was excluded, he hurried forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the white-robed elder. The white-robed elder nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you to make arrangements. At most, two more people will be added."
"Thank you, elder, thank you, elder!"
Uncle Han Li thanked him repeatedly, and then winked at Han Li and Zhang Ze: "You two can come too."
In this way, Zhang Ze joined the Xuantian Sect with the help of Han Li.
The white-robed elder flew away, and Uncle Han Li was responsible for taking these children on a long journey to Xuantian Sect.
On the way, Uncle Han Li began to explain to the children things about the Xuantian Sect and various matters that should be paid attention to, especially the rules of the Xuantian Sect.
Xuantian Sect ranks among the top ten among the immortal cultivating sects. There are many masters in the sect and they are very powerful. Especially the treasure of the sect, the Zhuxian Sword, is even more prestigious.
"The Immortal Killing Sword?" Zhang Ze scratched his head and felt that the name was familiar. Then he remembered that there was such a sword in a fairy novel he had read before.
The group of people walked for a day and a night and finally arrived at their destination. Everyone except Uncle Han Li and Zhang Ze were too tired to walk.
"Well, your physical strength is quite good." Uncle Han Li looked at Zhang Ze with approval and said, "There happens to be a job in the sect that is suitable for you. I will mention it to Manager Li later."
The children were taken to the steward's room, where specialized people registered new disciples and then sent them to work in different departments.
Second Uncle Han Li pointed at Han Li and Zhang Ze, said a few words to Manager Li, then gave them a few words of advice and left in a hurry.
Manager Li checked the personnel directory and said to Han Li and Zhang Ze: "Han Li, you go to the medicine garden tomorrow to see Dr. Mo. Zhang Ze, you go to the animal pen to see Elder He tomorrow. They will arrange your specific work. .”
"Take this ID badge. Someone will check your identity when you walk around the sect. Don't lose it."
"Also, you two live over there in Xishan. Don't wander around at night, go to bed early, and don't be late for work the next day, otherwise you will be punished!"
…
Manager Li chattered a lot, and then sent Zhang Ze and the others away.
"Let's go check out the residence first. Anyway, we can just report in tomorrow."
Han Li and Zhang Ze walked to Xishan and found their residence, a small old wooden house with barely enough room for four beds and no room to put their feet down. It felt very crowded.
Han Li and Zhang Ze covered their mouths and noses. It seemed that no one had lived in this house for many years, and the musty smell was very strong.
The two immediately started to clean up the house, otherwise there would be no room for people to live in at night.
At this time, two more people came to the wooden house. Obviously, like Zhang Ze and Han Li, they were outer disciples.
"Brothers, I'm Li Xun." The young man who saluted was tall and thin. Although he was wearing linen clothes, he had fine skin and tender flesh. He also spoke politely. He seemed to come from a good family. I don't know why he came here to work as a teacher. The outer disciples suffered.
The other one was a rural boy like Han Li, with disheveled hair and stains on his face. He looked very simple and honest, but his eyes were bright. He said he was from Caomiao Village and his name was Zhang Bufan.
Han Li and Zhang Ze also introduced themselves to Li Xun and Zhang Bufan, and the four of them quickly became familiar with each other.
Now that all the residents of the cabin have arrived, Zhang Ze looks at the other three people and feels that these people are not simple.
Of course, he himself is even more complicated!
A word emerged from Zhang Ze's mind: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
"Li Xun, what kind of work were you assigned by Manager Li?"
Han Li asked Li Xun next to him while making the bed.
Li Xun said casually: "Serve the inner disciples and elders, serve them tea and pour water, and do whatever they are told."
"What about you?" Han Li asked Zhang Bufan again, and the latter replied: "They said the kitchen was short of a helper, so they asked me to come over and help."
"I feel like you are all better than me." Han Li sighed and said, "I originally thought that after joining the Xuantian Sect, I wouldn't have to farm, but I didn't expect that when I was sent to the Medicine Garden, I would still have to farm, but this time I would plant herbs... "
Li Xun looked at Zhang Ze and asked curiously: "May I ask what kind of work Brother Luo has been assigned?"
"The animal pen." Zhang Ze shrugged and said, "It seems to be work like feeding animals. I don't know. I'll find out tomorrow when I go take a look."
After the four people packed up their things, they were ready to rest. They had all traveled long distances from various places and were already exhausted. They lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Although Zhang Ze closed his eyes, he did not fall asleep. It was almost time and he should log off.
In the channel, other companions were also preparing to log off. After everyone said goodbye to each other, they left the Demon Realm one after another.
…
In a luxurious villa on the outskirts of the imperial capital, a woman's shrill screams kept coming from inside.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of the belt whipping was endless.
"Mr. Zhao, stop hitting me, please stop hitting me! Ooooooh!"
Liu Shanshan rolled around on the floor holding her head, crying and trying to avoid the belt being pulled hard.
The owner of the belt, a man in his twenties or eighties, had a ferocious expression on his face and cursed: "Damn it! Why is it that my sister is not the one who dies instead of a bitch like you! I'll beat you to death!"
