C2 to the fire door
A handsome and adorable young man suddenly appeared in the small town. Everyone in the town ran over to take a look. There were quite a number of people pointing at him along the way. Some people even offered him food. The young man blushed and accepted it.
"Sir, what would you like?" The waiter at the only inn in town was especially polite. It seemed that there was finally a "rich person"! Heh heh, let's rip him off.
"What do you have in your shop?" Xue Tian looked at the waiter's eyes, which flashed with a strange light, and laughed in his heart. He had to be careful.
"What do you want to eat, sir? I'll make it for you…"
Xue Tian looked back and forth. Although the shop was very clean, he still felt that there should be no customers in the shop. It was very deserted. At this moment, besides Xue Tian, there was also a beggar in tattered clothes eating buns.
"I'll eat what he ate!" Xue Tian had never seen a steamed bun before. When she saw the white and fat steamed bun, she felt that it was very cute and wanted to try it.
"Sir, how much do you want to eat?"
"How much is this?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. Twenty wen per tray. How much do you want?”
" How much is one drawer??"
"One drawer is three taels…"
Xue Tian really didn't have much of an idea about the weight. After pondering for a long time, he casually said,"Why don't you try a tray first?"
"Sir, is one drawer enough for you? You look so strong…Do you want to try the signature Saliva Chicken and the wine you brewed? I guarantee that you'll be satisfied!"
Xue Tian didn't know what the Saliva Chicken was, but he nodded out of curiosity. He knew about alcohol, but he shook his head when he thought of his father's attitude after drinking.
"Steamed Bun and Saliva Chicken…"
"Okay, you!" The waiter happily ran to the kitchen. Not long after, two dishes were served. Xue Tian tasted them separately. The taste was not bad. Moreover, the chicken was very different from Father Xue's cooking method. It was very novel.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they encountered a problem with the bill. The waiter said that the Saliva Chicken was fifty taels of silver each. Xue Tian was stunned. Where did he get so much money? He asked for it without asking just now. What should he do? The waiter looked at him with disdain." I say, kid, what are you eating without money? What? Are you trying to trick us into eating and dining?”
"You said it was delicious, so I…"
"Sigh, you didn't ask about the price. Who are you blaming?”
" I..." Xue Tian felt very awkward. She knew that she had to be careful, but she didn't expect to be tricked!
"Shopkeeper, I heard that the Saliva Chicken in your shop costs one ingot of silver. How did it increase so many times in one go?”A young master dressed in white and holding a folding fan stepped into the store. The waiter felt this aura and quickly smiled and said,"Young Master, this Young Master is really…"
"What's wrong?" The white-robed young master stared at the waiter. The waiter quickly said,"Young Master, Young Master…you're right, you're right. Young Master is truly discerning!"
"Alright, let's go!" The white-robed young man dragged Xue Tian away and threw down a silver ingot. Xue Tian caught a whiff of a faint floral fragrance when he approached.
" You... thank you..." Xue Tian followed him for a while, then quickly pulled out her hand and massaged it a few times. It hurt so much. Why was he so strong?
"Ah, hehe, little brother, I was too angry when I saw this…black market, so (he looked at Xue Tian's hand apologetically)…are you okay? My name is…my name is Tumu."
" Mu Mu…" This name was so strange. Xue Tian smiled and shook his head, indicating that his hand was fine. Seeing how fast he spoke, was his elegance just now all an act?
"Uh, what's your name? What are you going to do? Coming to such a remote place, I guess you are…going to the five gates to study, right?”
The series of questions made Xue Tian a little dizzy, but he still replied politely,"My name is Xue Tian, I'm going to study…"
"I want to go to the Fire Sect. What about you? Maybe it's on the way!"
"(Seeing how enthusiastic he is, Xue Tian couldn't reject him, so he nodded) Yes, I'm also going to the Fire Sect, and we're on the way.”
" Ha, that's great. I finally found a companion. Let me tell you..." Tumu kept talking like a chatterbox. Xue Tian listened quietly, so the journey wasn't too lonely. He roughly summarized Mu Mu's words. It was nothing more than curiosity about the cultivation technique of the fire door, worry when he started his journey, lack of confidence in whether he could enter the fire door, and other trivial topics. Since Tumu did not know how to ride a flying sword, the two of them walked. Anyway, the two of them set off very early, and they had plenty of time along the way. They took the official road, and they arrived at the fire door very quickly.
There were already many people gathered at the entrance of the fire door. Tumu looked back and forth and curled his lips."I thought we were already here. Why are there so many people already here? Do we still have a place to stay? Really! He had never seen so many people from other sects!”
"How do you know if there are many other disciples?”
"Aiya, I've been asking around all the way. Really! Have you forgotten…"
"Oh? Is that so?" Xue Tian didn't intend to argue. He hadn't talked to any strangers along the way, so how could he ask? There must be some clues. Although Xue Tian didn't have much experience in the outside world, he wasn't stupid. Seeing that Tumu never mentioned anything about his family, Xue Tian understood that he was afraid that he had some secret in his heart. He simply didn't think too much about it and didn't ask.
"Hey, look! There's a recruitment board there. Let's see what's written there.”Tumu's attention was already focused on the place where the head was moving. There was a large wooden raft with many things written on it in black and white. The two of them walked over and took a closer look. Some of the contents written on it were nothing more than some procedures for becoming a Fire Sect disciple and some rules and instructions for the selection that would begin in half a month. Xue Tian read it carefully, but he heard Tumu yawning.
"Tumu, aren't you going to look at it?"
"You don't have to look at it. I know what to do. Instead of wasting time looking at it, you might as well ask me!”
"You know? Then let me test you. What are the methods of selection?”
"Generally, there are two kinds. One is literature, and the other is martial arts. As for martial arts, I don't need to say much about it. It's just to see if each person's body is suitable for learning and cultivation. Literature is more troublesome. It's to see who is more powerful by poisoning and feeding each other. However, there's also a special one, which is to compete in literary talent. After all, some people are here to learn some scriptures and other things. They are here to remember the newly created martial arts in the sect or the events of the sect. I think this selection is the most boring!”
"En, and what is the most important thing in the martial arts competition?”
"Do things with integrity. Don't exaggerate your abilities in pursuit of cultivation, just in case!”Xue Tian asked a few more questions, and Mu Mu answered them very well. Xue Tian smiled and said,"If you have any questions, I'll ask you!”
"You didn't even look at the paper. How do you know that I answered correctly?”
"You'll know when we study together in the future!”Xue Tian smiled evilly, causing Tumu to be stunned.
"Why are you blushing?" Xue Tian asked faintly.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Let's find a place to rest!”Mu Mu coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
Although there were many people, Fire Sect was also one of the big sects in the world. There would always be a place for them to stay. Although this place…
"Oh, even if we look a little younger and have less money…you can't treat us like this!!!”Mu Mu was furious. How could he let them live in the woodshed? Was he trying to chase her away?
"Since we're already here, we should take it as it is. We're still alright, and there are still people who have to live next to the toilet…Look, this place is clean and refreshing, and it's very close to the kitchen.”
"This little…this young master has never lived in such a bad place. This is too much!!! This is too much!"
"Who's making a scene in the woodshed!”A woman's voice came from outside the woodshed. The two of them were shocked. Xue Tian opened the door. It turned out to be a maid looking at them angrily.
"Uh, it's so late. What does Young Lady mean?”
"Hmph, it's already so late, why aren't you resting? What are you yelling about? Our Fire Sect is in a special situation now. Regardless of whether we are born rich or not, we are treated normally…Why should we complain?”
" Uh, Miss, we know we were wrong. Thank you for your reminder…"
"Hey, you! What right do you have to criticize us! If your Fire Sect knew that there would be so many people coming to study, why didn't you build your own residence bigger?”
"Miss, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to say this? It's already very good that we've vacated a firewood shed for you! Moreover, the Fire Sect was there to teach cultivation techniques, not to show off their sect! How could he waste all his money on worldly possessions?”
" What…" Xue Tian was stunned. Was this maid so angry that she became muddled? Why did he call Tumu 'Miss'?
"Hey, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Who's the young miss?"
"Miss Tu, I'm Miss's maid. Of course I recognize you. Letting you stay here is a grievance to your body, but since you're here to study, you're equal to others! Please forgive me, Miss Tu. If you have any questions, you can directly talk to the young miss. Why hide your identity like this?”
"You! You!" Mu Mu was furious and rushed over, ready to attack. The maid curtsied and left in a flash. Mu wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Xue Tian.
"Tumu, is what she said true?”Xue Tian was a little dissatisfied. She had thought that she would be a good friend if she didn't ask her about some things and respected her enough. She didn't expect her to…
"Xuetian, Xuetian, you don't believe me, but you believe her? Can you not look at me like that?" Mu Mu looked at Xue Tian's unsmiling face and felt a little flustered.
"Are you a girl?" Xue Tian asked, his voice sounding unfamiliar.
" I... I am..." Mu Mu lowered his eyes and didn't dare to say more. Xue Tian's body was emitting a strange aura, which made Mu Mu very afraid.
"Is what she said true? You're a young lady? If I remember correctly, the surnames of the people in every sect and clan are the same as the names of the tactics they cultivate. You're so familiar with the young miss of the Fire Sect…You…You're the young miss of the Earth Sect, right?”Xue Tian's series of questions made Tumu nod, unable to deny it.
"…Xuetian, Xuetian, please don't be angry, I beg you…"
"I'm asking you, Miss!"
"I, I am…"
"Then I'll find another place to stay. Can I let you stay here? I still know the laws of the world! "After all, the gap between us is huge…" Xue Tian was very angry. How could he lie to him? Moreover, there was a difference between men and women. If they really stayed in the same room, it would be hard to explain in the future!
"Xue Tian…I'm like this because I'm afraid I won't be able to make friends…When people see that I'm a young lady of Earth Sect, they'll…they'll be respectful to me or stay far away from me…I can't help it…I don't want to have no friends here…I…I beg you, please don't be angry, okay? I'm still Mu Mu, I'm still me…Didn't we get along very well before?”
"You…your real name is Mu Mu?”
"…Erm, I…am called Tu Muyao…but you should call me Tumu…"
" You can't do this. When you enter the fire door, the male and female disciples will have to be separated…It will be very inconvenient for you to do this…How about this, I can help you hide your identity, but you should return to being a woman…I'll go talk to that female servant and see if she can find a better place for you…"
" I…I don't want to be alone. I'm scared…" Tu Muyao pouted and looked at Xue Tian with tears in her eyes. She grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go.
"Then why don't you share a room with another girl?”A cold voice rang out. Xue Tian turned around and was stunned. This woman was…really beautiful! Ever since Xue Tian left the mountain, this was the first time he had seen such an extraordinary woman.
The woman was dressed in a fiery red dress. Her long silky black hair was tied up with a red jade hairpin. There was a proud and cold look between her brows, as if she was repelling people from a thousand miles away. Xue Tian wanted to see more, but she felt that it was inappropriate. She withdrew her gaze and waited for the woman to speak. The woman walked straight to Tu Muyao and said,""Yao 'er, did you report this to your parents?”
"Yes, yes. Sister Huo, I'm very obedient this time. I just want to learn and cultivate. Sister, please take me in!”
"I know all about your abilities, but we can't play favoritism. You can rest assured and compete.”
"Hehe, thank you, sister. Sister is the best!”
"Fortunately, Yun 'er saw you. Otherwise, you would have caused a ruckus here again. Hmm?"
"No, how would I dare? How dare you?"
"Fortunately, you remembered the rules of the Heavenly Gates. Coming to the Fire Gate…"
"Hehe, I'm learning more…"
"The art is in the essence, not in the quantity…Alright, come with me…"
"That won't do.(Tu Muyao grabbed Xue Tian) I promised to stay with him. He…he's afraid of the dark…I have to keep my promise…"
"Oh? (The woman finally looks at Xue Tian, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed) Who are you?”
" Even on a snowy day, I also wanted to come to the Fire Sect to seek knowledge…I met Fire…Miss Huo…"
"Hmph, Yao 'er, don't go too far! Be careful of your parents! "I wonder whose voice just said that I'm afraid of the dark…" The woman retracted her sharp gaze, and Xue Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
"Sister, don't worry. When have I ever suffered a loss? Right? "He said it…he said it…" Tu Muyao's smile was extremely flattering, and Xue Tian couldn't help but feel speechless.
"He…Forget it. You should take care of yourself. You know where I am. If there's anything, just look for me!”Before he left, he did not forget to look at Xue Tian again. This child's bones and muscles were really good. Unfortunately, he was not appreciated by Bo Le and did not receive much guidance. It seemed that his cultivation was a little lacking, and he was also a little... I can't say for sure. I can't see through him. What a pity! If he can successfully enter my Fire Sect, within a few years…sigh…it depends on his luck!
