"Who! What are you doing!"
At the city gate, the guards standing guard immediately became alert when they saw this strange pair of people, and stepped forward to question them.
Under the darkness of night, the men and horses wearing bamboo hats stood still like sculptures. Only a groom leading the horses stepped out.
He did not raise his head, wore a bamboo hat, and let out an old laugh:
"Hehehe, sir, we are here to join the Immortal Sect Emei to recruit disciples."
"You are here to participate at this late hour? Take off your hat, we have to conduct a routine inspection." At the gate of the city, seven or eight guards surrounded the group, and one of them even looked at the carriage.
"Who is in the car? Come out and take a look!"
The groom smiled "haha" and said hello.
"Everyone, please take off your hats and show our faces to the officials."
After saying that, he took off his hat, revealing a wrinkled face.
The guard was stunned, and in the next second, everyone in front of them took off their hats, revealing various faces, and each of their eyes was pitch black, with large jets of thick black mist spraying out.
"you!"
Just as a guard was about to speak, he was surrounded by thick black fog. He was caught off guard and sucked in his mouth and nose. Suddenly, his whole body froze in place, like a walking corpse.
The leading guard was horrified when he saw it. He quickly held his breath and pulled out the sword from his waist.
The groom, whose eyes were constantly flowing with black smoke, was slightly surprised when he saw his appearance.
"Yo, that's a bit of effort."
The leading guard shouted angrily, threw the knife with his backhand, then turned around and went to call someone.
The long knife flew quickly and exploded just as it was about to stab the groom in the face.
The guard was about to run into the city, but soon two black energy flew out from the left and right, instantly outflanking him and completely blocking his way!
The leader of the guards immediately despaired when he saw them, and turned to look at these people in horror.
In front of him, more than twenty mysterious people with black eyes stood in different shapes, each with a playful expression, as if they were cats and the leader of the guards was a mouse.
"Sir, you are just a warrior, how can you be our opponent? If you kneel down and kowtow twice to make my master happy, maybe he will let you go." The groom said sarcastically.
The leader of the guards was sweating profusely, his burly body was trembling slightly with fear, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
After a short moment, he suppressed the panic in his heart and shouted angrily: "Evil heretic! I will fight with you!"
After yelling, he took a step forward, his muscles tightened, and he slammed his huge fist at the groom!
"Pfft~"
"flutter!"
The head of the guard leader flew high, then fell heavily, like a rotten potato smashed on the ground, splattering scarlet blood all over the ground.
Looking at the head of the guard who had been separated, the coachman showed disdain and said to the person next to him: "Clean up the body so that no one can find it." Then he turned around and bowed to the carriage.
"Master, we have arrived in the capital."
…
…
Early the next morning, Lin Xiaolu was the first to get up again and started exercising in Maple Leaf Garden early.
He was very diligent and attentive, but he couldn't hit the punch yesterday, which made him very depressed. How should I put it, he just couldn't find the feeling he had yesterday.
That feeling of being exhausted physically and mentally after not sleeping all night, and then seeing the first ray of sunshine in the morning, feeling like your heart is still.
After practicing for a while, he found that it still had no effect, so Lin Xiaolu went back to the lobby to have breakfast in depression.
Because he was in a bad mood, he ate without energy. He looked at the rice bowl with a dozen steamed buns, a dozen eggs, and seven or eight bowls of pumpkin porridge and sighed.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? Why don't you eat?" Dongfang Dan asked while stuffing rice dumplings into his mouth.
Tang Xin, who was drinking porridge, and Chen Nianyun, who was eating shaomai, also looked at him.
"What's wrong with you, kid? Why don't you eat?"
"Is today's breakfast not delicious?" Chen Nianyun tasted his pumpkin porridge honestly and said doubtfully: "It tastes pretty good, sweet."
On the table, the boy's little face fell: "I was able to hit people from a distance yesterday, and suddenly I can't do it again."
"You're too impatient." Tang Xin smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. The more impatient you are, the harder it will be to fight."
"Yes, yes." Dongfang Dan said solemnly next to him: "Just like I was constipated a few days ago and couldn't poop out. The more impatient I became, the more I couldn't poop out. Finally, I thought about it, whether it likes pooping or not, it can't. If you get used to it, guess what, after a while it will pull out on its own.”
Tang Xin felt nauseated after hearing this and glared at Dongfang Dan: "Little fat man, can you be nice? We are eating!"
"No, it's so disgusting. I'm going to vomit. Just eat." Chen Nianyun retched and ran out of the lobby.
Yu Chuchu also turned pale after hearing this, glared at Dongfang Dan fiercely, and ran away.
Tang Xin tried hard twice, but in the end she was unable to do anything. She felt sick to her stomach even though she hadn't eaten breakfast, so she got up and left angrily.
Suddenly, only Lin Xiaolu and Dongfang Dan were left on the dining table.
The two guys looked at Tang Xin, Chen Nianyun, and Yu Chuchu who were leaving, and they all snorted disdainfully.
Lin Xiaolu: "You are still cultivating immortality. Young people have no determination at all."
Dongfang Dan: "That's right, it's far worse than me and Brother Lu."
After they finished complaining, the two looked at each other and laughed, feeling silly and happy, and Xiaolu's mood improved a lot.
Soon after they had breakfast, they took a carriage to the Ancestral Temple.
In the next period of time, they will recruit disciples for a week. The busiest people are naturally Tang Xin, who is responsible for testing, and Chen Nianyun, who is responsible for registration. Dongfang Dan, Yu Chuchu, and Lin Xiaolu have nothing to do and are relatively free. .
"The most important thing when you come out to hang out is the word "righteousness". Just like me, I have been traveling in the world for so many years, relying on three things: being ruthless, being loyal, and having many brothers."
A group of children squatted in rows, looking at Lin Xiaolu who was sitting on the nail bed with admiration on his face, and occasionally made two sounds of admiration.
Lin Xiaolu dangled his two short legs and recounted passionately: "When I was seven years old, I went to collect protection fees and watch the show, and I received two bunches of candied haws a day. Can you believe it? I was only seven years old! Two bunches of candied haws a day!”
The children's eyes shone when they heard this. One of the little girls with pigtails said with admiration: "Brother, you have been making two bunches of candied haws a day since you were seven years old. Others must be envious of you, right?"
Lin Xiaolu smiled slightly and said calmly: "I still remember that at that time, there was a little guy in our village who was a little older than me. His father was a fisherman and his family had a fishing boat. He was a wealthy family in our village.
Then when we were playing together, he saw that I had two skewers of candied haws a day, one for me and one for my sister. He was unconvinced, and I could clearly see the emotion of hatred towards rich people in his eyes. "
"He must be envious of you, right?" a child exclaimed.
"No." Lin Xiaolu continued to boast: "Like me now, I am too lazy to eat candied haws. Why? I'm tired of eating it!"
"Wow~" The children heard the sound of admiration again.
Looking at the dozen children in front of him, Lin Xiaolu showed an enigmatic smile:
"Young people, you have to remember that when you are young and can get two bunches of candied haws a day, you will find that money is just a number to you.
Therefore, you still have to work harder in the future, keep your feet on the ground, and work hard step by step. "
The whole morning passed in such a leisurely and relaxed manner. At noon, the recruitment of disciples was paused for a while, and Lin Xiaolu and the others began to have lunch.
Zhang Yong and other guards had already brought lunch cooked by the chefs in the imperial kitchen. Originally, His Majesty wanted to directly invite Tang Xin and her four children to the palace for a meal, but she refused every time. Tang Xin had been deliberately keeping the peace. The distance between the mortal royal family, including their expenses in Dai Viet, will be reimbursed in Emei one by one in the future, so as not to be contaminated with cause and effect as much as possible.
