Chapter 1209 Unexpected Encounter
Xuanhuangzhou, Li Guo.
On top of a huge mountain peak stands a huge building with four big characters "Seven Star Academy" written outside the mountain gate.
At the foot of the mountain, there are seven small cities standing beside the mountain, which are known as the Seven Son Cities.
One of them, Xingzi City, is the smallest ancient city among the Seven Zichengs, with a population of only a few hundred thousand people. In the world of cultivating immortals or in many places, it is difficult to become a "city" of this size!
But at this time, Xingzi City was uncharacteristically lively. In just a few days, monks from all over the world gathered, and the entire ancient city suddenly became crowded. All the inns were overcrowded, and even many tents were set up outside the ancient city. Lived in tens of thousands of monks.
All this is due to the Seven Star Academy on the mountain.
Every ten years, Seven Star Academy will recruit new disciples and conduct assessments. Those who successfully pass the assessment will become disciples of Seven Star Academy and enter to study.
And this year, it was the last day for Seven Star Academy to recruit new disciples, and there were only a thousand places left, and the place was set at Xingzi City.
Therefore, countless monks at home and abroad were attracted, and they all wanted to seize the last chance to win one of the thousand places and enter the Seven Star Academy.
In Xuanhuang State, the academy is the best springboard and the best cradle.
Practice in the academy, not only can you get in touch with a lot of formulas and resources, once you graduate from the academy, you can become a teacher, or be introduced to various sects, which is definitely easier than being a casual cultivator.
This is like the entertainment industry. Many people want to be admitted to various film and music art academies, and then use the qualifications or contacts they have learned in the academy to enter the entertainment industry and become famous stars.
Although the sects in Xuanhuang Prefecture will also recruit new disciples, most of them will give priority to those cultivated by the academy, and then consider casual cultivators.
So no matter which academy recruits students, no matter whether it is capable or lucky, there will always be countless monks rushing to participate.
At this moment, in Xingzi City.
An old woman in Taoist robes was walking on the street, followed by a young woman in a long skirt as white as snow, with a delicate face and creamy skin.
She was leading a horse, with a trace of fatigue on her brows, but a determined look throughout.
She had an idea that she couldn't fall down, that she couldn't give up.
"Yuxi, let's take a rest here!" At this moment, the old woman who was walking in front suddenly stopped and said in a low voice.
The woman was slightly startled, and then she saw the old woman stopped outside a resting place.
"Master, is this resting place opened by your friend?" the woman asked.
"That's right, let's go in with the teacher. The horses will stay here for now, and someone will come and take them away later." The old woman nodded and stepped into the resting place expressionlessly.
"Yes!" The woman responded, then let go of the rein and followed the old woman in.
After a while, a middle-aged shopkeeper personally received the old woman and the woman.
The woman stood aside and did not speak, but from the conversation between the old woman and the middle-aged shopkeeper, she understood that the old woman's friend was actually the shopkeeper's father.
But passed away.
Although the middle-aged shopkeeper had a warm smile on his face, the woman always felt that it was a superficial smile, very fake!
In the end, the old and the young were placed in a simple and remote woodshed.
Seeing the dust all around and the musty smell in the air, the woman frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Master, that person is too much to let you live in such a place, this disciple will ask him to reason." go."
"Forget it, Yuxi, human feelings are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold, don't you understand this simple truth?" The old woman waved her hand lightly and sighed.
"But Master, your illness..."
"Hehe, could it be that if you change to a better place, you can recover from your illness as a teacher? Forget it, now that Seven Star Academy enrolls students, it would be great if they can provide a woodshed!" The old woman smiled kindly.
The woman couldn't help but startled, and in her impression, this was one of the few smiles of Master.
But seeing Master's smile, she was very uneasy, as if she felt that Master was about to leave.
"Yuxi, I have something to tell you as a teacher!" At this time, the old woman spoke again, her tone very gentle.
"Master, please speak!" The woman hurriedly helped the old woman aside, and directly used the white skirt sleeves to wipe off the dust on them, and let the old woman sit down.
The old woman looked at the woman's movements, nodded slightly and smiled, with a hint of relief in her smile, and a little bit of reluctance.
"Now that my life as a teacher is about to expire, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you for a long time..."
"Master!"
"Yuxi, don't interrupt me! When I brought you here as a teacher, I wanted to give you a fortune, but I never thought that the fortune has not been given to you, but I have to go first as a teacher! But this time the enrollment of Seven Star Academy, yes For you, it is not a good fortune, after you enter the Seven Star Academy, remember to cultivate well, as a teacher, you have already taught you everything, and the rest depends on your own good fortune!"
"Master, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't be like this!" the woman said, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, if it wasn't for the teacher who brought you out in the first place, how could you have fallen into such a trap?"
"No, Master, I begged you to bring me here at the beginning. I was looking for someone, but I didn't expect that this world is so big, this road is so difficult, and it hurt you..."
"Then do you regret coming out to find him?"
"I..." The woman paused slightly.
But her firm eyes have already told everything, she has no regrets, never regrets!
The old woman looked at her and smiled, but she didn't mention the matter anymore, instead she said: "Yuxi, remember, next time you can't take out the Seven Star Order easily. No one can treat the illness of a teacher. Help, even if you use the Seven Star Token to exchange for more pills, it will only make your teacher suffer for a few more days!"
"Master, I remember!" the woman nodded.
"Okay, then you can rest assured as a teacher..." After the old woman finished speaking, her eyes closed slowly, and she left with a smile.
The woman froze in place for a moment, completely stunned.
She didn't expect that her master would leave just like that, so suddenly.
Despite the serenity on her face, it was still hard for her to accept.
"Master..."
The woman knelt down in front of the old woman, crying into tears.
If Xu Que was here, he would definitely be surprised.
This woman in white was actually Lin Yuxi, his girlfriend from college back then.
"Master, don't worry, this disciple will cultivate hard and avenge you!"
Looking at the old man who passed away peacefully, Lin Yuxi said silently in her heart.
She has another goal in this life!
In the end, Lin Yuxi buried the old woman under the woodshed, which was something the old woman had hinted at a long time ago.
This inn was opened by her and that friend back then. There are many memories between the two of them here. The old woman once said to herself that she hoped that the fallen leaves would return to their roots here in the future, and they would be buried in the soil for peace.
At that time, Lin Yuxi didn't think there was anything wrong. Only now did she understand why the old woman brought her here, not only to escort her to Seven Star Academy, but also to rest here.
"boom!"
At this time, there was a muffled sound outside the door, as if someone had fallen to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of scolding.
"You bastard, how dare you come here to eat and drink, are you looking for death?"
"Damn it, do you still want to do business in this inn? I took out the elixir to watch, but was gnawed by this person. How do you plan to compensate for this? A second-grade elixir, I'm afraid it will kill you all." Even if the inn is sold, I can’t afford to pay for it!”
"My lord, forgive me, this person will be handed over to my lord!"
"Treat your mother, this person is a fool at first glance, even if he is killed, can he get back my loss?"
"But this..."
"Hmph, this time, my son specially obtained a Guishen Pill to participate in the assessment of the Seven Star Academy, but your inn let a fool in and ate the elixir. Your inn must be responsible for this matter."
"My lord, this is a small business for us, how can we afford to pay for this Guishen Pill?"
"Can't afford it? Then I will set your shop on fire. Even if the city lord comes, there is nothing I can do about it! Come on, drive out all the people in the inn, and this fool, let me die Beat him, kill him and throw him out to feed the dogs!"
...
At this point, there were the shopkeeper's begging for mercy, and the sound of intensive fighting.
Lin Yuxi frowned slightly and shook her head.
It seems that the middle-aged shopkeeper is also going to be unlucky, but according to this trend, the inn seems to be unable to stay.
"Squeak!"
She gently opened the door and glanced out.
I saw the middle-aged shopkeeper kneeling in front of a son, begging for mercy.
There are a few people dressed as guards, beating a sloppy man around him, but the man doesn't say a word, hugging his head and crouching on the ground, still chewing food madly, he seems to be starving .
Seeing this, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but sighed. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. When her master was around, she was always taught not to meddle in other people's business. What's more, now that her master has passed away, even if she wants to help others, she doesn't have that strength.
"En?" Suddenly, just as Lin Yuxi was about to close the door and ignore it, his gaze met the eyes of the beaten man.
Looking at him, it was as if he had traveled through the void, through time, looking for thousands of years, looking for him thousands of times, and suddenly looking back, that person was in a dimly lit place!
Her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it, she was so excited that she trembled: "Xu...Xu Que!"
...
