Chapter 152 Xiangyang City

"So when you were a little older, you went to Qingji Sect?" Old Seventeen asked Mu Hanshan when he joined Qingji Sect, and then asked excitedly, "Which city were you recruited from?"

The Qingji Sect would openly recruit students every few years in various cities in the immortal world and the human world. The disciples in charge of recruitment traveled between various cities, set up enrollment points, checked the qualifications of the applicants, and issued entry tokens to those who were qualified.

This is general recruitment. As for those famous families, such as the Qi family and the Yin family, there will be special people visiting to test the qualifications of the children of the families and accept them as their disciples.

Although Mu Hanshan's family was well-off, he was not wealthy enough to receive special recruitment from the Qingji Sect. Therefore, he could only be admitted through general recruitment.

Mu Hanshan said: "Shanyin City. After getting the token, I set out from my grandparents' home and entered Qingji Sect."

"Shanyin City? Is it the city on the way here?" Old Seventeen wondered, "Wait, according to you, you joined Qingji Sect when you were thirteen years old. During that time, you lived in your maternal grandfather's house... Doesn't Qingji Sect also have a recruitment point in Xiangyang City? Why did you go to Shanyin City hundreds of miles away to test your qualifications?"

Lao Shiqi thought the logic was very strange.

According to Mu Hanshan, he lived in his maternal grandparents' home for a year when he was eight years old, during which time he met Chang Feichang. When he was thirteen years old, he came to live with his grandparents in Xiangyang City. He was supposed to stay there for a year, but he encountered the Qingji Sect recruiting students halfway through. The Qingji Sect also has an enrollment point in Xiangyang City, but he insisted on taking a bus to the Qingji Sect enrollment point in Shanyin City, a hundred miles away, to test his qualifications. After he got the token from Shanyin City, he traveled a hundred miles by car to return to his maternal grandfather's home to say goodbye, then went back to the Mu family, and then took a car to Qingji Sect.

This is totally unreasonable!

When asked about this logic, Mu Hanshan seemed a little embarrassed. He said: "Because of some family matters..."

But he refused to elaborate.

His words aroused Old Seventeen's curiosity. Duan Ying asked, "So when you first entered Qingji Sect, you had already made up your mind to join Master Chang Feng's army?"

Mu Hanshan said: "Yes."

When he rode the immortal carriage into Qingji Sect, all he thought about was the young immortal under the moon.

Wearing white clothes and wearing a golden belt, the young boy is in the Nascent Soul stage, how high-spirited he is.

It is difficult for outer disciples to find out information from the inner sect. Mu Hanshan started as an outer disciple and worked diligently. Xiangyang City is rich in locust flowers, and fortunately, there are also a few locust trees in front of the cottage where he lives. The years in the mountains were long, the locust flowers bloomed and fell, and he had not heard any news from the young immortal for a long time.

Later, the Qingji Sect changed its leader. Also replaced were the Sword-wielding Elder and the Sustaining Elder. Mu Hanshan also changed into the uniform of an inner sect disciple. He entered the inner gate from the outer gate. The scenery in the mountains was the same in all four seasons. However, the young man who flew with a sword that year was no longer as bright as the moon hanging high in the sky.

The three words "常非常" have become commonplace. The young man disappeared in the crowd, and became a venerable elder with nothing under his command, whose cultivation could no longer improve. When Mu Hanshan went to Qiansheng Peak to pay him a visit, he did not find anyone in the hall.

Finally he saw the young man on a big rock in the middle of the bamboo forest.

The young man neither held a sword nor wore white clothes. He was wearing gray clothes, leaning against a stone and yawning lazily, with his sword lying in a mess aside. Seeing him coming, he just looked at him listlessly and said, "Sit down."

After a while, he asked, "Are you my disciple?"

The moon in the sky became a moon in the water. Mu Hanshan simply pursed his lips and saluted him, just as he had once dreamed of doing when he was young.

"Disciple Mu Hanshan greets Master."

Although I feel sad, I am still filled with joy.

…

Old Seventeen: "So the first impression between a master and a disciple is very important. It can lay the foundation for the teacher-student relationship."

Jiang Yourong: "Yes. My sister said the same thing. She said that when she first met Master Yin Feng, Master Yin Feng came to see her with a sick look, sitting on a chair, with long eyelashes drooping, a listless expression, and the cheeks exposed under the brocade clothes were as white as snow. My sister said that at that time she thought of four words: White falling in the lake."

Ye Yufei, a disciple sent by Bai Ruoru to travel with Ning Mingmei, said: "When my sister and I first met Master, Master was under the crabapple tree. His clothes were stained with jade and his flowers were bright and dazzling. Master is like a flower in my heart."

The topic was brought to Duan Ying's attention. Duan Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "When I first met my master... he was practicing swordplay on the cliff, his clothes fluttering like the wind. I envied that wind that was as sharp as a snow knife."

After the four of them finished talking about love and romance, they looked at Old Seventeen. The pressure was put on Old Seventeen. Old Seventeen said: "Well, when I first met Master... Master Fang was the wind, Master Bai was the flower, Master Yin was the snow, Master Chang was the moon. And my Master was..."

"Four words." Someone said coldly.

A few people looked up and saw Ning Mingmei glance at them, then turned and left. Old 25 and Old 5 hurriedly followed him and said to them, "We have arrived at Xiangyang City."

Ning Mingmei brought a total of these people this time.

Duan Ying, Fang Wuyu's subordinate, Old Seventeen, Old Twenty-Five, Old Five and Jiang Yourong, his subordinates, Ye Yufei sent by Bai Ruoru, and Mu Hanshan whose maternal grandparents are in Xiangyang City.

Including Ning Mingmei, there were eight people in total.

Whenever the disciples have nothing to do, they get together to gossip. Throughout history, people both at home and abroad have been accustomed to this. And Ning Ming Mei is indeed four words.

And speaking of the first meeting between Master and disciple...

In this life, the first "disciple" who met him for the first time was not any of them.

That person is...

Ning Mingmei: "What was that person's name?"

"Lian Chengyue! Lian Chengyue! Lian Chengyue!"

The system roared three times in Ning Mingmei's mind. Ning Mingmei had a blank expression on his face. He just recited the scriptures in his mind and put away the flying boat.

This flying boat was the same one that Fang Wuyu had been tricked into getting before.

The first impression will determine how you get along. What kind of relationship will it determine?

Xiangyang City is a large city in the human world. It is densely populated but old, with narrow and crowded streets. Several people parked the flying boat outside and walked towards the city. Several disciples had never seen a city in the human world, and they looked around. Jiang Yourong said: "This city gives me a feeling of..."

"A what?"

“It’s big and crowded, with a lot of complicated parts that can’t be cut out,” the girl tried to express.

Ye Yufei and Lao Shiqi were concerned about other things. Old Seventeen said, "Speaking of which, in a while, our sect should come to Xiangyang City to recruit students. Will the general recruitment time be different in each city? Maybe they have already arrived."

"Let's take another look." Ye Yufei said.

Ye Yufei is the elder sister of Bai Ruoru's first disciple Ye Xuefei. The first disciple is not determined by ranking, but only by strength and qualifications. Ye Yufei is older than Ye Xuefei and has less talent than her, but she is steady in her work. Although she cannot be the first disciple, she has her own methods.

This time, Bai Ruoru sent Ye Yufei to come with them for their safety.

However, when talking about Xiangyang City's enrollment, Ning Mingmei noticed that Ye Yufei's expression was a little subtle. He guessed that besides looking for Wen Siheng, Ye Yufei had other tasks.

What secrets are there in Xiangyang City?

By evening, everyone was staying at Mu Hanshan's maternal grandfather's house for the night. It is only one mile from the place where the immortal boat docks to Mu Hanshan’s maternal grandfather’s home. But this group of people had outstanding temperament and they were obviously from the immortal world, and they quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"An immortal has come to Xiangyang City!"

The crowd watching on the roadside surrounded the place in three layers. It was the first time for Jiang Yourong and Old Twenty-Five to go out for a trip. Being surrounded by ordinary people, they were so excited that their faces turned red, so they paid special attention to their reactions.

Soon, Jiang Yourong heard a child in the crowd say, "Are these people also Taoist priests? Are they Taoist priests from the Lingfeng Sect?"

"I see they carry swords."

"But the clothes they wear are different from those of the Taoist priests of Lingfeng Sect."

"They are so different," said a little girl. "They are not so fierce."

"That's all." A slightly old voice said, "Another sword cultivator from outside is coming... Don't cause any trouble. Every time a cultivator from outside comes, there will always be trouble."

Jiang Yourong looked back. The person who said this was a doctor. When the doctor saw her coming, he lowered his head and took his child and quickly went out.

It was as if he didn't want her to see him any more.

The reaction of the mortals in Xiangyang City was really strange - before Jiang Yourong had time to think about it, they had already received a welcome from Mu Hanshan's maternal family.

Mu Hanshan’s maternal grandfather’s surname was Ge, and from then on it was shortened to the Ge family. Mu Hanshan's maternal grandfather had passed away long ago, and now the person in charge is Mu Hanshan's uncle Ge Qi. Although he has elixirs that can prolong his life, Ge Qi now looks like an old man. He met his nephew whom he hadn't seen for many years, and hugged him again and again, showing great affection.

As immortal leaders of the Qingji Sect, they were also welcomed with the highest standards, such as a dinner full of delicious food. At the banquet, Ning Mingmei took out a Coke as his gift. This unique "magic drink" was welcomed by everyone in the Ge family.

"If my uncle drank it, he would definitely praise it!" said a child.

Ning Mingmei knew that this child was Mu Hanshan's cousin in terms of seniority. The great uncle he was talking about should be Mu Hanshan’s cousin.

But another child poked him hard: "My uncle is a powerful man, and he has seen all kinds of good things."

oh?

When Ning Mingmei asked this question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird. Immediately, Ge Qi smiled and said, "These kids are talking about my younger brother, Ge Min. He is now a powerful person in Lingfeng Sect and is also an elder there."

It turns out that he is a powerful person from Lingfeng Sect. Ning Mingmei suddenly realized.

"The leader of the Lingfeng Sect is celebrating his tenth birthday, and people from all sects and schools have come to celebrate. My brother has been busy with the preparations these days, so he has not returned to the Ge family during this period." Ge Qi explained again.

But these words only make the truth more obvious.

When the conversation turned to Ge Min, Mu Hanshan's expression became even more uncomfortable. Ning Mingmei saw all of this.

But Ning Mingmei never does the inappropriate thing at the inappropriate time. He only pushed the matter of Wen Siheng to the Ge family: "This is my eldest disciple from Piao Miao Peak. Please help me find him."

The Immortal Lord was so polite, and the Ge family would never put on airs. Ge Qi said: "I will ask my friend to help find out about this matter. But I am afraid that this matter may be very simple, or it may be quite complicated."

"What do you mean?"

"Master Wen is a Jindan cultivator. There may be many Jindan cultivators in Qingji Sect. But outside of Qingji Sect, he is also one of the best talents. In addition, he is from Qingji Sect... It is difficult for anyone to make a move against Master Wen." Ge Qi said vaguely, "So, either Master Wen left on his own."

"That's impossible." Ning Mingmei said.

"Or maybe Immortal Wen is involved in something. And this matter is very complicated."
