The old man stepped on his sword and flew towards the depths of the courtyard, and it didn't take long for him to fall again.

The old man came to a large hall, and there were about a dozen people sitting in the main hall. There are men and women, the elderly are about 70, and the younger ones are more than 40.

The old man entered the hall and made a prostration.

In the direction of the old man's salute, there was another old man, about sixty years old, less than seventy.

This old man was dressed in plain clothes, with a white beard, but he wore a white jade hibiscus crown on his head. To the left of the old man, there is still a vacant seat.

"I've seen the dean." The old man finished his salute and said.

This old man sitting in the main hall is the dean of the Xuanyu Academy, and the Taoist name is Huayang Zhenren.

Huayang Zhenren saw the person and said, "When were you so flustered? ”

The old man then replied: "There is an old man in the door, who went up the mountain to ask for a job as a yam farmer, and I saw that the old man's herbs were very good, so I came to ask the dean." ”

Huayang Zhenren looked at the old man, then at the group of people around him, and asked, "Everyone, what do you think?" ”

Most people were not very interested in the sudden old man and the problems he brought, so they didn't speak.

At this time, a woman's voice said: "The back mountain has been abandoned for more than ten years, and it may not be a good thing to pick up all kinds of herbs again." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Just according to the words of Xian'an." Huayang Zhenren looked at the crowd and said.

"Dean Xie, everyone." The old man made another salute and hurried out of the main hall again.

After the old man left, there was a soft discussion in the hall.

……

"This young old Taoist, as a human teacher, has no rules."

"I didn't participate in this meeting, but ran over for an old man."

"He is also pitiful, there are not many disciples under his disciples. The fire of this Danfang is also supported by him. ”

Soon after the discussion started, Huayang Zhenren suppressed it.

"Don't talk about it anymore!"

……

This hurried and angry old man is called Yuan Qingzi, and he is the teacher of Dan Pharmacy. Yuan Qingzi has been obsessed with pills all his life, and it is common for him to take care of the Dan furnace for a few days without sleep.

When Yuan Qingzi was in Tianze Temple, he looked forward to coming to Xuanyu Temple. Because the former president of Xuanyu Academy, Qing Xuan Tianzun, was the first person in the Heavenly Kingdom Pill.

Yuan Qingzi thought about it day and night, thinking that he could enter the Tianzun Sect. But who knows that Tianzun Shenlong has seen the head and not the tail, let alone entering the mountain gate, he has never even seen faces.

Later, because of the sudden disappearance of Qing Xuan Tianzun, Yuan Qingzi was sent to Xuanyu City to pick up the Danfang.

Yuan Qingzi was very depressed, how could this big living person disappear if he couldn't see it.

Although he didn't see Tianzun, but with the Dan furnace left by Tianzun, Yuan Qingzi also got some comfort.

……

Yuan Qing returned to the Danfang and pulled Grandpa Qing'er aside.

Yuan Qingzi said: "Although the dean promised to let you go into the mountains to plant medicine, I also need to make an appointment with you for three chapters. ”

Grandpa Qing'er replied: "Dare to ask which three chapters are they?" ”

Yuan Qingzi scratched his head, he patronized the three chapters of the scholar's covenant, but he didn't think of what the law was about.

Yuan Qingzi couldn't think of what to ask for a while, so he said, "Let me think about it and tell you later." ”

Grandpa Qing'er and Captain Lin knew each other and smiled, and Grandpa Qing'er secretly thought to himself, the old man in front of him was very interesting.

Grandpa Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "If you want to grow good herbs, the old man also has a way to make an appointment with you?" ”

Yuan Qingzi looked puzzled, thinking that he hadn't made a request yet, but the other party opened his mouth first.

Yuan Qingzi looked at Grandpa Qing'er and asked, "Do you have any law offer?" ”

Grandpa Qing'er immediately said: "I am planting medicine in this back mountain, except for you, sir, no outsiders are allowed to enter!" ”

Yuan Qingzi immediately replied, "Okay." ”

Grandpa Qing'er added: "Even if the dean wants to come, you have to stop it!" ”

Yuan Qingzi muttered at this time, first, he may not be able to stop the head hospital, and second, he thought to himself what the old man in front of him was going to do, and he didn't allow the dean to check it, isn't there a demon?

Just as Yuan Qingzi was secretly thinking about it, Grandpa Qing'er opened his mouth again.

Grandpa Qing'er took a step forward and said, "As long as you can respond, I guarantee that the yam herbs will run all over the mountain after this!" ”

Yuan Qingzi was shocked by Grandpa Qing'er's conditions, so he grabbed Grandpa Qing'er's hand and said, "Is this true?!" ”

"Seriously!" Grandpa Qing'er smiled.

"If it's fake?" Yuan Qingzi asked.

"If there is any fake, Ren Er will deal with it!" Grandpa Qing'er replied.

Hearing Grandpa Qing'er's words, Yuan Qingzi laughed, and Grandpa Qing'er also laughed. Lin Jian and Qing'er, who were only left aside, were confused, and they didn't know why.

……

Yuan Qingzi took Grandpa Qing'er's hand and chatted happily in the Dan room, and the two of them were the same.

The fire in the Dan furnace is blazing, and the Dan room is extraordinarily warm.

Yuan Qingzi's mind was full of pills, and naturally she talked a lot about pills to Grandpa Qing'er. Grandpa Qing'er found that the person in front of him really knew the pill very well, and he had a lot of his own opinions.

But Grandpa Qing'er just listened silently, and finally said: "I'm not good at pills, I only know how to grow medicines." ”

Yuan Qingzi said: "Just grow good medicine, medicinal materials are the foundation of Cheng Dan." ”

Yuan Qingzi pulled Grandpa Qing'er and talked a lot, but it was more like complaining.

For example, since Qing Xuan Tianzun left, the pills of the Heavenly Kingdom have stopped. The influence of the pill in the Heavenly Kingdom was also gradually declining, and the number of disciples in the academy who chose the pill was also becoming fewer and fewer.

Yuan Qingzi told Grandpa Qing'er that he liked pills very much, but he couldn't say why. It's just that whenever Dancheng is in the furnace, he feels like a child born by himself.

Grandpa Qing'er nodded as he listened, indicating that he was listening seriously.

Yuan Qingzi wanted to say something again, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Lin Jian.

Lin Jian still had to visit the teacher here, so he said goodbye to Grandpa Qing'er first, and agreed to come back to find them later.

……

Lin Jian walked out of the Dan room, and his heart was less, and he jumped up unconsciously.

Grandpa finally has a place to stay, and he can finally handle his own affairs with peace of mind.

Lin Jian walked on the familiar road of the college, and the past was vivid. After many years, he didn't expect that he would return to the academy again as a student.

Lin Jian even forgot what he had learned back then, and most of the things in his mind had been returned to the teachers.

Lin Jian suddenly wanted to be a teacher because of his trademark unhurried way of speaking.

But Lin Jian couldn't remember what this teacher was teaching.

"Talismans? No, it isn't. Kendo? Neither is it. Thoughts? Lin Jian said to himself.

Lin Jian couldn't remember what the teacher taught, so he learned the teacher's demeanor and said a few words.

"Avenue ~ no ~ for ~~" Lin Jian imitated, and changed a few breaths in four words.

After speaking, he said to himself: "That's right! He teaches Qi refining! ”

……

In Lin Jian's mind, several other teachers also floated through them one by one. But he also soon discovered that many teachers only remembered their appearances, not honorific titles.

Lin Jian was a little annoyed for a moment, seeing that the teacher didn't know what to call and how to be good.

But before Lin Jian could think about it, he found that several classrooms were empty. Lin Jian had to go deeper into the courtyard, and after walking for a while, he came to a large hall.

Lin Jian stood in the distance and looked at it, and when he saw that it was full of people, he guessed that the teachers should be inside.

Lin Jian was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to approach.

Lin Jian just hid behind a tree and stared at the people in the hall. He was secretly glad that it was daytime, and if it was night, he was afraid that he would be caught as a thief.

After another half an hour, the people dispersed, and each returned to his lodgings.

Lin Jian thought about which teacher to meet first, but unexpectedly, a voice rose in his heart.

"Why did you watch it for a long time?"

Lin Jian was shocked, and there was no one around. I just felt so strange, and I wondered if it was an auditory hallucination?

However, soon after the voice dissipated, another one arose: "Don't look at it, come into the temple." ”

Only then did Lin Jian realize that there was an old man in the hall who was watching him.

Lin Jian came to the hall and bowed respectfully, without speaking. At the moment, he was a little restrained, standing aside and staring at his toes.

Huayang Zhenren looked at the person who came, and then said: "What is the so-called thing about going up the mountain? ”

Lin Jian raised his head and glanced at the old man in front of him, and found that he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember the name for a while.

Then he said: "Accompany my grandfather up the mountain to ask for a job as a medicine farmer." ”

Huayang Zhenren sat down after hearing this, and said, "I see, let's go to your grandfather." ”

After Huayang Zhenren finished speaking, Lin Jian did not leave.

Huayang Zhenren immediately asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Lin Jian thought for a while and said, "This time I went back to the academy, and the disciple wanted to re-cultivate the Xuan Dao. ”

Huayang Zhenren was a little curious, and said: "At your age, you should study in Tiandu, why did you come to my Xuanyu Academy." ”

Lin Jian paused for a moment and explained, "Originally, five years ago, I had already been admitted to Tiandu. But the young man was ignorant and only wanted to make a contribution, so he returned to the county and joined the army. ”

Lin Jian did not mention the reason for his father and brother, and only attributed the problem to himself.

"However, when I met the demons on the road recently, I realized that I was too incompetent. Now that the demons are becoming more and more rampant, I want to rebuild the Xuan Dao and subdue the demons in the future. Captain Lin continued.

After hearing this, Huayang Zhenren only felt that it was a pity, and if there was an opportunity to enter Tiandu, he should seize it.

Then he looked at the young man in front of him again, and said, "Since you have encountered the demon clan on the road, why is it unscathed. ”

Huayang Zhenren almost didn't feel the qi in the body of the young man in front of him, that is to say, the young man in front of him basically didn't cultivate.

Lin Jian immediately explained: "On the way to school, the Heavenly Master of my county injured the demon. Subsequently, the disciples of Baoxuan Tianzun appeared and destroyed the demons. ”

After hearing this, Huayang Zhenren said thoughtfully: "Are you from Yubei County?" ”

"Exactly." Lin Jian returned.

Huayang Zhenren nodded after listening, and did not speak.

Lin Jian didn't know what the old man's intentions were, so he just stood in place and remained silent.

After a while, Huayang Zhenren opened his mouth again.

"At your age, you've already missed the best cultivation period. But there is also an opportunity, you can cultivate Qi first, and then practice Kendo. Although the avenue is difficult to achieve, there are still infinite possibilities in the martial arts. The old man said.

After hearing this, Lin Jian hurriedly saluted.

The old man waved his hand and walked out of the hall.

Only then did Lin Jian remember that the old man just now was the dean.

Lin Jian thought to himself, and he didn't ask when he would start cultivating. At this time, the voice of the old man in the heart regenerated: "Once you have entered the mountain gate, you have already started your cultivation. ”

Lin Jian listened, and bowed respectfully towards the figure of the old man.
