2. Chapter 2 Young Fang Fang

The New Year is just around the corner in a month, and the villagers of Fengshen Village are nervously preparing enough food for the winter. On this day, Fang Wenlai was also counting the days of his three in an orderly manner. If you go hunting beasts once or twice with the group, you will also have money for the New Year, so you don't have to worry about food.

The day of the week is again, and everyone has come to Fengshen Square. Fang Wen said: "Since everything is ready, let's go." An old man with a black knife stood up and said, "Come on, there is something I want to tell you, I have discussed it with everyone, my brother and sister have just given birth, you should stay at home, take care of her more, we will bring you food, don't worry." Fang Wenlai's eldest brother Fang Wendong said. Fang Wen said: "Big brother, this is not good, everyone's life is hard, if I don't participate, I can't live this day at all, the little sister is no problem there, there are a few sisters-in-law to take care of." Don't talk about it, let's go, go and harvest for a while. In this way, everyone's persuasion was fruitless, so they had to give up. Everyone followed Fang Wen to embark on the hunting journey together.

The big mountain they went into the mountain to hunt was called Fengshen Mountain, and according to legend, this Fengshen Mountain did not know how big it was, and the ancestors of Fengshen Village discussed the name of the mountain near the village. On the west side of the village. A group of more than a dozen people walked slowly from the west side of the village towards the mountain. After half an hour of traveling, they finally came to the outside of Fengshen Mountain, where there are very tall trees, more than 30 meters high, and more than 10 meters in general. They planned to spin around outside a few times before slowly leaning inside. The group of them has been here a few times, but they are quite familiar with this place, and they already know the basic terrain well. The group walked slowly towards the east side of the mountain, each of them about five meters apart. Fang Wendong, who was walking in front, suddenly took down the longbow on his back, shot an arrow quickly, and hid a hare in the grass in front of him, which was discovered by Fang Wendong, the hare mourned and remained motionless there, and then his fifth son Fang Wuhu ran to pick up the hare and threw it into the big bamboo basket on his back, Fang Wuhu was responsible for the cleaning up of those small animals, and Fang Wuhu's left waist also hung a black knife, which was an ordinary black iron knife in the town, made of black iron, enough to deal with fierce beasts, 90 copper coins。 He also had a short bow hanging from his right waist, which was made of the most common mahogany and buffalo bones, and was 60 copper coins a piece. Fang Wuhu finished packing up and retreated to the middle team, and the team still slowly moved to the east.

Everyone raised their attention and carefully probed their surroundings, and a big black bear appeared in front of Fang Wendong, eating a red spotted deer. The big black bear had a little wound in the corner of his left eye, and the skin had broken a little. At this time, everyone attacked, first of all, Fang Wendong, who was closest to the big black bear, attacked it. Fang Wendong's cultivation had reached the late stage of the sixth-layer enhancement of the acquired refining body. Facing the big black bear of the seventh layer of the acquired refining body, Fang Wendong attacked bravely. Under normal circumstances, monsters of the same level are stronger than humans, but humans are superior to their high intelligence and have a great chance of winning. The Great Black Bear of the Seventh Layer of the Acquired Body Refining Body can at least withstand two cultivators in terms of strength. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of more than a dozen cultivators, even though it was a big black bear with good defense, it couldn't resist it, and just like that, the angry big black bear finally died at the hands of their group, and they hunted such a big fat man so quickly, and they didn't have to go inside. Fang Wen said: "It's really good today, it's really nice to meet such a big black bear here, at least close to a thousand catties." Everyone burst out laughing. Hunting a beast of five or six hundred catties can make the villagers in this village live for more than a month, and at least two months of one thousand catties is more than enough, and the bones and flesh are left to the villagers in their own villages, and the skin and fur can be divided into money. Fang Wenlai said again: "It may be that this big black bear chased this red-spotted deer from the inside to the outside, usually there is no trace of this big fat man outside, we are lucky." Fang Wendong laughed and said: "Yes, today is indeed a big luck, since you gave birth to a cub in your family, our luck has been good." "Everyone responded, indeed. Under the leadership of Fang Wenlai, their group walked a few times outside Fengshen Mountain, and the harvest was not bad, and they also caught twenty or thirty small animals. They got all the beast's furs and handed them over to Fang Wendong and the second Fang Wenqi to take to the town to sell, as well as some ordinary medicinal herbs they collected, and Fang Wenlai and the others rushed back. After half an hour of traveling, the group finally returned home. They went to Fengshen Mountain to hunt, and it took them two days and two nights to complete the hunt. After more than an hour, Fang Wendong and the two of them also came back, sold the animal skin and animal hair, and harvested more than 100 silver, of which the big fat man was more than 50 silver, and each household also received more than 9 silver, and each person had more than 500 catties of animal bones and beast meat.

Fang Wenlai decided to go to the town in a day or two to be a ten-and-a-half-month restaurant junior, and by the way, he helped his daughter-in-law and son buy a few new clothes and cosmetics. I have to make more money to ensure that my life is more stable. Fang Wenlai discussed with his daughter-in-law, and the little sister also agreed to let him go, he was not so active before, but now Fang Wenlai is so active, Zhu Mei is very happy.

Today, it's finally time for Fang Wenlai to go to the restaurant. Fang Wenlai hung a black iron knife on his left waist, a small short knife on his right waist, and a large bamboo basket on his back. In the bamboo basket, I put a few pieces of my own clothes and dry food to facilitate my daily life. In this way, Fang Wenlai embarked on the road to the town. Starting from the west side of the village, that is, to the direction of Fengshen Mountain, bypassing from the west side of Fengshen Mountain, there is a big road, and then going north along the road, you can reach the town, ordinary people need to spend more than a day on foot, and the distance is more than 40 miles. However, with Fang Wenlai's cultivation of the seventh layer of the Heavenly Refining Body, he should be able to arrive in five or six hours.

After more than seven hours of traveling, the exhausted Fang Wenlai finally arrived in the town before dark. He also harvested a lot of medicinal herbs on the way, including a branch of Ganoderma lucidum that was almost ten years old, when he was walking on the side of the road, he suddenly had an urgency to urinate, and when it was convenient to go, he met the big black bear with the fifth layer of the acquired body refinement, in order to damage the fur of the big black bear less, Fang Wenlai spent a lot of effort to get the big black bear. Then I looked around and found such a branch of Ganoderma lucidum, and then I searched around again, and I also harvested a lot of ordinary herbs. In order to be able to rush to the town before dark, Fang Wenlai will look exhausted. When I came to the town, it was already past six o'clock. Fang Wenlai decided to dispose of the herbs and the fur of the big black bear first, and kept the bear bile for his daughter-in-law and precious son to stew supplements. Fang Wenlai came to the door of Tianbao Pavilion, and then went inside. That day, the treasure pavilion couldn't say why it came. The first time he accompanied his ancestors here, they told him that this had existed for a long time and that he didn't know when it had been here. I only know that it is a businessman. Although he also wants to do it here, he must at least have the cultivation of the ninth layer of the acquired refining body, and the guys in the restaurant only need to build more than the fourth layer of the acquired refining body, and if he goes to the restaurant, there must be work to do. Fang Wenlai went into the Tianbao Pavilion, came to the herb sales office, and sold the herbs. Among them, the Ganoderma lucidum was given 10 silver, and the other herbs were bought for more than five silver, and the luck was good, even if it was not the second child in the restaurant, it could temporarily meet the needs of life. The monthly expenses of ordinary people like him are almost one silver, and when the New Year is over, the expenses are larger, and they can spend about 10 silver when they buy this and that. In any case, he had to save a little more money so that his precious son could go to school in the future. After selling the herbs, Fang Wenlai went to the beast sales area and sold the fur of the big black bear. The fur of the big black bear in the fifth layer of the acquired refining body is sold for about 30 silver, the big black bear on the first layer of the acquired refining body can be sold for about five silver, the second layer of the acquired refining body is almost 8 silver, the third layer of the acquired refining body is about 12 silver, the fourth layer of the acquired refining body is about 17 silver, and the fifth layer of the acquired refining body is about 30 silver. The other later levels have been greatly improved, and the more complete they are, the more expensive they are. After they were all sold out, Fang Wenlai went to the Xianshan Building opposite to find a job. Walked to the Xianshan Building opposite, followed the line prompted by the sign, and Fang Wenlai went to the work office.

In the work office, there was an old man about the same age as Fang Wenlai sitting at the counter, and it seemed that he was the one in charge of registering the guy. Fang Wenlai stepped forward and said hello: "Hello, the principal, I want to find a job here, and I can serve dishes and wash dishes." The director Zhang said: "Well, the seventh layer of the acquired refining body has met the requirements, the surname of the director is Zhang, just call me Master Zhang, recently many immortals have come to our Fenggan Town to recruit people to enter the immortal sect to practice, and get eternal life, these days are very busy." As soon as Fang Wenlai heard that the immortals were excited, he hurriedly said: "Director Zhang, do you have any requirements for this immortal to accept apprentices?" The director Zhang glanced at Fang Wenlai with disdain: "A hillbilly is a hillbilly, I don't know anything, but you have no hope, the immortal recruits apprentices is very strict, only children and teenagers around 7 to 15 years old, I heard that there are any qualifications and other conditions, alas, don't say it, anyway, you have no hope." Fang Wen came: "Thank you Zhang for telling me, this kindness is in my heart." "A small villager like Fang Wenlai, who is far away from the town, is also the first time I have heard of immortals recruiting apprentices. They don't come to town a few times a year, and even if they do, they don't stay long. So Fang Wenlai also heard for the first time that the immortals came to this town to recruit apprentices, he knew that there were immortals and monsters in this world, but it was the first time he heard that this immortal came to the town to collect apprentices, and he was quite excited, and his desire to save more money and make more money was even stronger. The director said to Ah Fu next to him: "Ah Fu, arrange this guy." Then Ah Fu took Fang Wenlai down, and after receiving the clothes for work, he came to the man's housing area. Na Ah Fu took Fang Wenlai to the 15 rooms of the No. 1 Pavilion, where six people lived in each room. Only those who have worked for more than 15 days will be arranged for accommodation and meals for free, and the salary is a little lower, 60 copper dollars per day. In this way, Ah Fu took Fang Wenlai to the door of room 15, and then handed the key to Fang Wenlai, and he left. Fang Wenlai opened the door, and it was empty, and it was only him at the moment. Sure enough, as Fang Wenlai guessed, the money given is small, but there is not much to do in this industry. If it weren't for the winter, the prey would be difficult to catch, and he wouldn't have come here to do the hard work, so he would have just done it. In this way, Fang Wenlai ate some dry food and fell asleep, and he had to wait until tomorrow to work.

Fang Wenlai got up at five o'clock and prepared everything, just waiting for someone to lead him to work. Sure enough, after a short while, there was a guy wearing the same work clothes as Fang Wenlai. The guy knocked on the door, Fang Wen came and went to open the door, and the guy said, "Come with me." Fang Wenlai hurriedly replied: "Hmm." The guy said again: "Why do you come to be a guy in this restaurant on the seventh floor of the refining body the day after tomorrow, and don't go to be the guard of some small family, it is much richer than this." Fang Wenlai said: "Friend, is there still this job to do, is it true, just need the cultivation of the seventh layer of the acquired body refinement, where to recruit it?" The guy said as he walked: "The three major families in the town have recruited, and those with high cultivation even pay a high price to recruit them." Fang Wenlai: "Thank you, when this work is finished, I'll take a look." "In fact, Fang Wenlai has also seen this recruitment, the salary is really good, you can receive more than 100 silver a month, but there is a lot of potential danger, such as the conflict between the family, if you accidentally get involved, it will be completely over, and the prodigal young master in those families, often has nothing to do with those guards to help him do some personal things, those private things are generally very dangerous, so they don't finish it, just look for those guards to do it. So Fang Wenlai is just for show, he can still make a lot of money by hunting and collecting medicine, and he is very free. In this way, Fang Wenlai was taken to the kitchen of the restaurant by the guy.

After being taken to the kitchen of the restaurant, Fang Wen took a look, it was really big, I couldn't imagine it was bigger than it looked from the outside. Then, Fang Wenlai also joined the ranks of the serving dishes. In this way, Fang Wenlai worked passionately for more than ten days, and there was only one day left for tomorrow, and he could go home with his salary. In today's service, Fang Wenlai found that there were many more guests today than in the past few days, some were a few adults with a few children, and a few entourage, some were an adult with a child, and some were children by themselves. Fang Wenlai found that most children come by themselves, and they are all born in hunter families similar to him. He asked the guy next to him and said, "Why is it so full today, there weren't so many in the past few days?" The guy next to him said: "Tomorrow afternoon is the last time that the immortal sect will assign immortals to collect disciples, and almost all the participants who came from afar today are here, and of course today's people are the most." Fang Wen said: "Oh, then I should be able to go to the scene tomorrow to take a look, I haven't seen it yet, I think I can't see it." The guy said: "That's it, I missed this time, I'll have to wait ten years next time, and my deadline will come tomorrow, let's go together then, man, I'm Zhang Hui, from Gao Village, your surname is Gao?" Fang Wenlai said: "Contemptible Fang Wenlai, from Fengshen Village, when the time comes, let's go to see the scene together, so it's decided." In the face of full guests, Fang Wenlai and they were enough to bear, and they didn't know how many times they ran away. However, if the business is good, the shopkeeper will definitely reward the small ones, so the more the guys work, the more energetic they become. Fang Wenlai and they worked until almost midnight at night, and then they finished work and went back to sleep. By noon tomorrow, you will be able to receive your salary.

Although he was a little tired, Fang Wenlai was very happy at the thought of being able to go and see the immortals. It's almost noon, and the due ones have been received. They all came to the shopkeeper to receive their salaries. Fang Wenlai and Na Zhang Hui were in first and second place, and they rushed to the shopkeeper early to line up. Everyone is here, and the shopkeeper Zhao spoke: "First of all, thank you for your active cooperation in the past few days, the business is very good, and I decided to pay you a fixed salary, and each person will be sent another 8 silver taels, in order to thank everyone, I hope that next time everyone will come to Xianshan Lou again to find work, in addition, the New Year is also coming, we also sent dozens of catties of rice to everyone as a New Year's gift, not a tribute, Ah Fu, pay salaries and benefits." In this way, Fang Wenlai and Zhang Hui went to see the scene of the immortal's apprenticeship.

The place where the immortal took in the apprentices was three streets away from the immortal dining building, and after a while, the two of them arrived at the scene. The two of them looked over and saw that they had formed ten lines, each of which was filled with more than four or five hundred people, all of whom were children under the age of 15. Each team has two immortals in service, the twenty immortals are all young people in their 20s, there are ten men and ten women, the young men are handsome, really different from ordinary people, the women all look like immortals, fragrant all over the sky, immortals are extraordinary, do things are always out of their expectations, very envious of immortals, although there is no immortal fate, but to see the immortals is also their own blessing, everyone feels very lucky, from now on it is also possible to soar Huangda. Fang Wenlai was excited, it was an immortal. In the future, I will also try my own children and the young people in the village to try the fairy fate, see if I can also be looked at, enter the fairy gate, and practice with the immortals. Fang Wenlai and the others also stood in position, staring intently at the process of the test. The first in the first line of the line was a little boy about 7 years old, and when he came to the test, a man pressed his hand on his head, and then the little boy trembled, and after a while, he saw the immortal and said: "The root bone is qualified, suitable for the cultivation of martial arts, and then test whether there is a good root bone for practicing the immortal method, put your hand on the crystal ball in front of me." The little boy nodded, and put his hand on the crystal, which lit up with pure gold, and then became brighter and brighter, and after a minute, the immortal said: "Shan Linggen, cultivation qualification No. 1, you can enter my sect of immortals to practice." The female fairy next to the immortal said, "Little brother, go and stand behind me." The little boy nodded. The female fairy said again: "Senior brother, I didn't expect to receive the No. 1 spiritual root here, the fairy fate is really unclear." The male immortal said, "Yes, this seems to have been arranged by God, and it is not something that we can explain clearly through our cultivation." Please come up to the next participant. In this way, some teenagers rejoiced, and some wept, and those teenagers who wept were because he had no martial arts qualifications, nor did he have the qualifications to become immortals. As I said before the Immortal Test, through the cultivation of martial arts, there are also ways to become the current existence. There are still a small number of teenagers who cry, less than one percent. In this way, it was almost afternoon, and the Xianmen test was completed. Fang Wenlai said: "Brother Zhang, this is really incredible, unimaginable. Zhang Hui said: "Yes, everything is really indescribable, we have too few levels of contact, and there must be a lot of people who don't know." Fang Wenlai said: "Brother Zhang, I'm going back, let's separate, there will be a period later." Zhang Hui said: "Brother Fang, there will be a period later." Fang Wenlai took all his luggage and embarked on the journey home. Fang Wenlai ran wildly all the way, running wildly for two hours in a row, and it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening. Fang Wenlai had to stop, he decided to find a safe place first, and spend the night before hurrying. Fang Wenlai has already come to the main road of Fengshen Mountain, and he will be able to return home after running for five or six hours tonight.

Fang Wenlai found a big tree more than 30 meters high around, and climbed to more than 20 meters to practice the "Python Bull Strength" on it, and the "Python Bull Strength" Fang Wenlai basically practiced every day, but his qualifications were not good, but he couldn't mention it. Fang Wenlai perseveres, if he doesn't insist, it will be even more useless, only if there is a glimmer of hope, he must work hard, he must do his best, fight with his life, and race against time is the king. Fang Wenlai started to run according to the route of "Python Bull Strength", that route is very familiar, the acquired refining body is below the seventh layer, Fang Wenlai is very familiar with it, and it runs very steadily, and the night of cultivation has passed like this, and the route of the eighth layer of the acquired refining body is above the rebirth, and he is not sure that it can be carried out. However, he has almost explored the route of the eight layers of rebirth the day after tomorrow, and in the road of self-exploration, it is very painful, and it is common for the wrong meridian route to go mad, but fortunately, as soon as Fang Wenlai realizes that something is wrong and can't go on, he will collect the work in time. He knew in his heart that this cultivation of "Python Bull Strength" was the same as that immortal fate, he would not force it, and it was enough to do his best. In this way, Fang Wenlai sat cross-legged on the tree and practiced all night, during which a few wild leopards searched under the tree, and it took a long time before leaving, Fang Wenlai ignored the wild leopards, he was really not an opponent. At dawn, Fang Wenlai ate some dry food to fill his belly, and set out on the way home again, he was eager to go home this time, so he ignored any herbs and ran all the way back.

After five hours of running all the way, Fang Wenlai finally returned home at noon. Fang Wenlai returned home and opened the door of his house, where his daughter-in-law and son were resting on the bed. Fang Wenlai shouted: "Little sister, I'm back." Then Zhu Mei said: "Brother Lai, you have been going for a long time, don't you want our mother and son?" Fang Wen said: "It's not that you don't know the situation of our family, and it's not to make that little money, but this time it's not in vain, I also met the immortals." Zhu Mei's eyes widened when she heard the immortal: "Brother Lai, is this true, our family's luck will definitely be good in the future, what is going on?" Fang Wenlai 1510, unreservedly told Zhu Mei what happened.Zhu Mei said: "Brother Lai, don't walk at night in the future, you are single, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, promise me, you will not be allowed to do this in the future." Fang Wen went back and forth: "Well, I promise you, so that you don't have to worry about anything all the time." Zhu Mei said: "Brother Lai, then our family's Fang Fang may be able to become an immortal in the future." Fang Wen went back and forth: "This must be hopeful, let's take care of our son in the future, whether there is a fairy fate depends on his life, this is undemanding." Zhu Mei said: "Also, there is nothing more important than taking care of the child." Fang Wenlai: "When the village gathers, I want to inform everyone of that matter, so that the future of our Fengshen Village will be more hopeful." In this way, the husband and wife chatted without a word, and went to make lunch together. Under Fang Wenlai's questioning, Zhu Mei finally agreed to go back to bed and lie down, and the lunch work was handed over to Fang Wenlai to do it herself. Soon after, Fang Wenlai prepared the meals for the husband and wife. The happy little days of the two of them began again. After Fang Wenlai and Zhu Mei finished eating, they chatted by the bedside, and Fang Wenlai took a nap. Walking at night, spending the night in the mountains and forests, and trying to spend it safely, is quite a waste of mental energy. Zhu Mei also accompanied her husband to take a nap in bed, and their son slept soundly in the newly made small cradle.

In the afternoon, Fang Wenlai and his wife also got up to make dinner, dinner was still done by Fang Wenlai, during Zhu Mei's confinement, Fang Wenlai volunteered to take care of the housework, Zhu Mei will be a little happy in her heart, after all, her man is considerate of herself, what a thing to be proud of. Fang Wenlai finished the meat dishes and vegetarian dishes, he called Zhu Mei to come out to eat, Zhu Mei was busy breastfeeding her son, and she would come out to eat after feeding. Just like that, after a while, Zhu Mei came out. Fang Wenlai said: "Little sister, it's time to eat." Zhu Mei said: "Brother Lai, it's hard work." Fang Wenlai said: "It's not hard, our farmer's family is light work, don't be like this all the time, I will still do what I should do." Zhu Mei said, "Let's eat, I'm hungry." Fang Wenlai said: "Okay, it's delicious while it's hot." And so the couple had dinner. After eating, Fang Wenlai teased his son and talked to himself. Zhu Mei laughed on the side: "My son hasn't understood yet, it's useless for you to say anything now, don't interfere with your son's sleep." Fang Wenlai said: "You know, okay, we should also go to sleep." Zhu Mei said: "It's time to go to bed, or wait for the baby to wake up, or be busy again." In this way, the three of them fell asleep.

It was a new day, and Fang Wenlai got up early to make breakfast. Last night, their little baby was hungry in the middle of the night and got up for a while, Zhu Mei didn't sleep very well at night in order to take care of the child, and now she is still sleeping in the house. Fang Wenlai fed the livestock and poultry, and after breakfast, he went to the gathering place of Fengshen Square to inform everyone, ringing the big bell of the square. Half an hour later, almost everyone came. Fang Wenlai spoke: "There is something related to the future development of our Fengshen Village today, I want to tell you to discuss the future plans together and make some adjustments." Fang Wenlai said: "In the more than half a month that I went out, I unexpectedly heard about a major event that everyone could not think of, I heard about it outside, and I went to see it in person, that is, there are immortals who come to our town to collect apprentices." As soon as Fang Wenlai finished speaking, everyone coaxed and discussed, and finally asked Fang Wenlai: "Ah Lai, is this true?" Fang Wenlai said: "Everyone quietly, this is absolutely true, once every ten years, at that time, we will go, take children aged 15 to 7 to meet the immortals, if someone in our village is favored by the immortals, then the time has come to the door of the real five blessings." In this way, at the suggestion of everyone, there was a big celebration and a toast to be able to bump into the fairy fate. In this way, everyone contributed food and money to celebrate for a day and a night.
