C8 The World Is Cold and Warm
The world is cold and warm.
After bidding farewell to the Thousand Fold Mountain, Uncle Loong rented a carriage and drove the two of them north. Half a month later, the two of them arrived at the largest city in the Kunlun Tribe, Loongqiu City.
Loongqiu City, the sun of the mountain, the yin of water.
Eight hundred miles of tall mountain. The tiger sat on the dragon Pan, and the nine curved rivers nurtured the dragon hill. Dragon Hill was the most important place in the world. It was located in the Kunlun Tribe, and its geographical location was extremely important. It had always been a place that the militarists fought for!
Longqiu Town had a population of three million in five thousand years. It could be said that it was the biggest town in Spiritual Martial Continent.
He had been wandering around the Loongqiu City for more than ten days.
Because there was no proof of his identity, no academy was willing to accept Xuan Feng as a student, and no wealthy family dared to hire Uncle Loong to work for them. They couldn't even rent a house.
Registration was equivalent to the use of identity cards and household registration in the future. It was very important in Spiritual Martial Continent!
During the day, the two of them searched everywhere in Loongqiu City for the Cultivation College that could accept Xuan Feng. At night, they would stay in the dilapidated temple by the city wall. Fortunately, Uncle Loong had some savings, so the two of them were not hungry.
It was fine that this run-down body could not cultivate, but even he thought that there was no place for Xiuwen to receive it!
The Loongqiu City was huge, but there was no place for him to stand!
Xuan Feng's heart was filled with frustration and disappointment. He didn't know why a monk would send him to this place.
Xuan Feng was in a bad mood. He couldn't care less about changing out of his tattered clothes. He spent all day wandering around the Loongqiu City, thinking hard about how to break through his current predicament.
After wandering around for a long time, many people in the Loongqiu City knew Xuan Feng and Uncle Loong. Some children even naughtily chased after the weak Xuan Feng, shouting beggars and beggars.
As a person in his second life, he had experienced things that others had never experienced before. Xuan Feng was disinclined to bother with these little fellows!
Early in the morning, Xuan Feng saw that every household in Loongqiu City was busy. They were all dressing up and bringing their children to the north of the city, the Imperial Mountain.
It turned out that today and tomorrow would be the selection for the Immortal Cultivation disciples that the Imperial Mountain Dao College held once every five years. When every family reached a suitable age for Immortal cultivation, their parents attached great importance to this matter. Having a child who could cultivate in the Imperial Mountain was a matter that could bring glory to the sect. It was something that was very worthy of praise.
When Xuan Feng heard the news, his eyes lit up. He knew that the opportunity that he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Since Uncle Loong had said that everyone on this continent had a type of attribute that allowed them to detect the Qi of Martial Dao or the Qi of Spirit Dao, at least one of the eight meridians would open.
If he were to take the test in public, he wouldn't have any Qi of Martial Dao or Spirit Dao, or even the eight meridians that Uncle Loong had mentioned, he wouldn't even be able to find a trace of them. Then, he would be able to let everyone know him in one go, and even shake the entire Loongqiu City.
At that time, no matter if it was a good thing or a bad thing, at least he wouldn't be as unknown as an ant now!
Even if he couldn't successfully attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Yushan Sect, he wouldn't lose anything. In any case, he had nothing now!
Wasn't this what the future generations said about hype!
He didn't know why Uncle Loong only wanted him, Xiuwen, to read those ancient books on cultivation. Xuan Feng could feel that Uncle Loong must have something difficult to say, but he wasn't willing to let him know!
The more it was like this, the more curious Xuan Feng became.
Xuan Feng chuckled. It seemed like his spirit had also improved a lot. While Uncle Loong was not paying attention to him, Xuan Feng sneaked into the crowd and headed towards the Imperial Mountain Dao College!
. . .
Just as he was recalling the events that had happened half a year after he transmigrated to the Spiritual Martial Continent, a shout suddenly came from outside the wooden house. "Junior Brother, look what Senior Sister brought you. Quickly come and help me carry the things. "
Xuan Feng suddenly woke up from his memory. When he heard the voice of his senior sister Xuanyu, his mood couldn't help but improve.
Xuan Feng hurriedly got off the bed and walked out of the room to take a look. He saw that there were two servants following behind Senior Sister. Each of them carried big and small bags on their backs. Senior Sister Xuanyu also carried two big bags in her hands.
"Senior sister," Xuan Feng welcomed her happily.
"Junior Brother, I saw that your wooden house didn't have any daily necessities, so I went out to buy some. You guys can use it first. If you need anything, I will buy it. " Dugu Xuanyu's forehead was full of sweat.
"Senior sister, you are so good. " Xuan Feng's eyes became hot and a drop of tears rolled down his face as he choked.
"Hehe. . . Who asked me to be your senior sister? I can't let you call me senior sister for nothing. " Dugu Xuanyu's jade-like hand scratched Xuan Feng's nose, "A little man, and you're still crying. You don't know shame!"
As she spoke, Xuanyu had an air of seniority.
In front of Xuan Feng, Dugu Xuanyu instantly felt that she was an adult. This feeling was very fun!
After being busy for a while, Dugu Xuanyu skillfully helped Xuan Feng decorate the wooden house. Xuan Feng instantly felt that this place was like a home, and his heart was very warm.
Awoo!
When the Ao Tian saw Dugu Xuanyu howling towards the sky, it ran happily to her feet and intimately rubbed Dugu Xuanyu's calves.
"What a cute puppy, it's so beautiful. " Dugu Xuanyu immediately fell in love with the Ao Tian the moment she saw it.
"It's called the Ao Tian. It's my playmate. " Xuan Feng also became happy when he saw the Ao Tian.
"Ao Tian, this place will be your home from now on. Do you like it?" Dugu Xuanyu gently bent down and picked up the Ao Tian. She and him played in the courtyard outside the wooden house.
A man and a dog were chasing after each other on the grass and garden beside the wooden house. They were very happy.
After playing for a long time, the sky had turned dark. Dugu Xuanyu reluctantly put the Ao Tian on the ground.
"Alright, you have a good rest. Remember to come to the academy for lessons the day after tomorrow. " Dugu Xuanyu did not forget to remind Xuan Feng before she left.
The next day, Xuan Feng took the ancient text that Dugu Xuanyu got and smoothly reported his name.
After resting for a day, it was time for the academy's classes to begin.
Early in the morning, Uncle Loong prepared brushes, ink, and other items for Xuan Feng and sent him out of the door.
There was a winding mountain path made of bamboo at the back door of the Imperial Mountain Dao College. It snaked all the way to the Imperial Mountain Academy, and it was about two thousand meters long.
Xuan Feng decided to start from here. He would first conquer the four mile path. After doing some warm-up exercises before jogging, Xuan Feng started to run slowly.
After three hundred meters, Xuan Feng was so tired that he was gasping for breath. Xuan Feng had no choice but to stop and rest for a while. He rested for seven or eight times on the way before sweating profusely and panting as he went to the major cultivation room.
Xuan Feng took a deep breath, tidied up his mood, and walked inside with a smile.
The major repair room could seat more than two hundred people, and by now, it was almost full. Everyone was in groups of three to five, chattering away.
Xuan Feng appeared at the door of the classroom. Everyone suddenly quieted down and looked at Xuan Feng in surprise.
"Isn't this the 'sick man' who is nothing? Why is he here? "
"It's him. Didn't the Sect Master accept him as its last disciple? Why is he still in the Cultivation Room?"
"With his pathetic appearance, he still wants to cultivate? Pah!"
. . .
Although he had heard all kinds of sarcastic and hateful words, Xuan Feng's heart still sank when he heard them. He pretended to be indifferent and forced a smile as he walked back.
Everyone saw Xuan Feng's disgusted expression and did not want him to sit beside them.
Xuan Feng had no choice but to walk to the last row. He quietly sat down in a corner. His heart ached as if it was dripping blood.
Just as he sat down, the originally noisy major repair room suddenly became quiet again. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
It was unusually quiet!
Xuan Feng raised his head in pain, looking forward with a puzzled expression. He did not know why the Xiuwen room was so quiet.
He saw Dugu Xuanyu, who was dressed in a blue palace dress, walking slowly towards the classroom. There were more than two hundred people under the podium, and all four hundred eyes were focused on her. They were all looking at the girl.
Dugu Xuanyu would always be the focus of everyone's attention. She would be the red flower among the greenery and the lone crane among the flock of chickens.
She did not sit in the front row like the other young masters. She glanced at the classroom and saw Xuan Feng in the corner. She smiled brightly and walked straight to Xuan Feng.
Under everyone's surprised and shocked eyes, Dugu Xuanyu slowly walked to Xuan Feng's side, bringing with her an orchid scent.
"Junior Brother, can I sit with you?" Dugu Xuanyu looked at Xuan Feng with a smile, her voice soft and clear.
Xuan Feng suddenly stood up as if he had been shocked by electricity. He opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Xuanyu, who was as beautiful as a peach blossom.
"Ah, Senior Sister, please sit. " Xuan Feng opened his mouth for a long time and only said five words.
The originally gloomy heart suddenly became bright and sunny. Feeling the envious gazes of everyone, Xuan Feng felt as if his entire body was floating!
Although Xuan Feng had memorized the books taught by the old teacher in the Thousand Fold Mountain Grotto, he still listened with great interest. From time to time, he would discuss the stories in the books with his junior sister.
Dugu Xuanyu was surprised that Xuan Feng's understanding of ancient books was so deep. She did not expect that Junior Brother, whose body was so different from ordinary people and could not cultivate, would be a genius like Xiuwen.
Dugu Xuanyu praised Xuan Feng for a long time, and that old teacher also praised Xuan Feng's agility and profound understanding!
A day passed so quickly that Xuan Feng still wanted more, but it was already evening.
"Junior Brother, I still have some things to do. See you tomorrow. " Dugu Xuanyu held the black hair that was scattered beside her ear with her jade-like hand. She smiled and greeted Xuan Feng, then left gently.
Xuan Feng waited for everyone to leave. He was still reminiscing about that sentence, "See you tomorrow. "
And the intoxicating fragrance from the seat beside him!
The simple three words seemed to give Xuan Feng tremendous strength. Xuan Feng couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow.
Putting away his book, Xuan Feng walked out of the classroom briskly. The sky had already darkened.
Walking on the bamboo path, Feng lightly blew on it. The bamboo leaves rustled, and Xuan Feng felt that the sound was like the sound of nature.
As he was feeling the refreshing autumn wind, Xuan Feng suddenly felt his vision go black. A large bag covered his head.
Before he could shout and struggle, Xuan Feng was kicked to the ground in an instant. Following that, a series of fists and legs smashed onto his body like raindrops.
Xuan Feng tightly held his head and curled his body into a ball, enduring the heart-piercing pain.
"You sick ghost, and a toad wants to eat swan meat!" A fierce voice sounded.
"You mother, stay away from big miss from now on, or else I'll beat you to death!" Another person shouted while fighting.
Xuan Feng felt that his breathing was not smooth. The world was spinning, and his body was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
Right at this moment, the Exquisite Buddha Beads on Xuan Feng's body faintly emitted a golden Buddha light, and it tightly protected Xuan Feng's heart.
If I die just like that, will she remember me?
Who would remember that a 'sick ghost' had once come to this world?
It's good that I die just like that. Then I can see my father, mother, and my younger sister.
Xuan Feng thought of Dugu Xuanyu's beautiful figure and fainted.
