Leisurely cultivating life

Chapter 3 Great changes in the world?

It was already evening when Zhou Fan woke up, and his stomach was already croaking with hunger. After tidying up his appearance a little, he opened the door and walked towards the front yard in the direction he came and went.

When I came to the front yard, I happened to see Xiao Liu cleaning, so I hurried forward and asked him, "Excuse me, big brother, please tell me where my uncle is now!"

"You're welcome, little man, the shopkeeper has told me to wait and take you to his resting place when you wake up. Please follow me." Seeing that it was Zhou Fan, Xiao Liu hurriedly put down the broom in his hand, Stretch your left hand forward, making a please gesture.

Zhou Fan nodded, followed behind Xiao Liu, and arrived in front of an antique courtyard not long after.Not long after sitting down, I heard footsteps.Zhou Tiezhu's loud voice moved from far to near.

"Xiaofan, rest well, let's go for a walk, uncle will take you outside to eat delicious food."

"Uncle Zhuzi, I am very grateful to you for taking me to Fucheng, so don't spend any more money." Zhou Fan refused.

"Hey, they're all from the village folks, so you'll be out of touch if you say this, and...cough Xiaofan, it's okay to call me Uncle Zhuzi in the village, but in this prefecture, cough cough, you can call me Uncle Zhou All right."

Zhou Tiezhu who came to Zhou Fan said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Uh, Uncle Zhu Zhou, I've made a note." Zhou Fan nodded hurriedly, obviously, he also forgot about this.It doesn't matter if you call it that way in the village, but it's a bit forced to call it that way when you're in Fucheng.

"By the way, Uncle Zhou, you really don't need to spend money, just eat whatever you want. There are still more than ten days before the Taoist temple opens, and I will bother you." Zhou Fan said to Zhou Tiezhu with a smile.

"Just for a few days, this is considered a nuisance!!! Let's go, uncle will take you to see the night view of Fucheng." After speaking, Zhou Tiezhu pulled Zhou Fan forward.Zhou Fan is still just a kid now, so he has the strength to break free, so he has to follow Zhou Tiezhu.

After leaving the pawn shop, the sky was getting dark, and the red lanterns on both sides of the street were lit up one after another. In the street market, the lights were dim, and there were many pedestrians. The whole city was beautiful under the night.

Stopping and walking on the road, admiring the dimly lit night scene, Zhou Tiezhu stopped in front of a restaurant after a while.

"Xiaofan, here we are, this is it. The braised pork here is the best in the whole prefecture. You are lucky. You will eat it once and want to eat it for the second time and the third time."

Seeing the flow of people in front of the restaurant, Zhou Fan turned around and said to Zhou Tiezhu: "Uncle Zhou, there are so many people, there should be no room."

"It's okay, I know the shopkeeper here very well, I've greeted him a long time ago, leave me a seat, let's go!" After finishing speaking, he walked forward.

Walking to the door, Xiao Er came forward to meet him: "Shopkeeper Zhou, you are here. The shopkeeper at your window seat has already ordered you to move a little bit more." The two greeted each other.

Follow Xiao Er to the window seat on the second floor and sit down. From this window, you can see the lively night view of Fucheng outside. Looking around, you can see a large area of ​​beautiful scenery.

After Zhou Tiezhu finished ordering, he turned around and saw Zhou Fan looking out of the window, and said to him with a smile, "Xiaofan, this place is pretty good, if it wasn't for my good relationship with the shopkeeper, I might not be able to book this place, haha !!!”

"Let Uncle Zhou spend the money." Before Zhou Fan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Tiezhu, his eyes widened and he said: "Xiao Fan, how many times do you want me to say, don't be polite, don't be polite, why don't you listen? ?”

"I'll just listen to Uncle Zhou, you're welcome." Zhou Fan nodded hurriedly.

"You boy, you drank ink with that sour scholar for several years, why did you just tune in with that scholar? It's so uncomfortable." Zhou Tiezhu muttered there alone.

The sour scholar named Zhou Guanghua is the only person in Zhoujia Village who has passed the children's test. The government distributes food, and all he needs to do is study hard.It's a pity that Zhou Guanghua was unlucky and failed to win the exam.The county stopped his public rations when they saw that he failed in many trials. He was a scholar and he didn't know how to do farm work, so he had to teach in a private school to finish his work. student.

"Hey, everyone, the opening day of the Yuxu Taoist Temple once every ten years is coming. How many people do you think will be recruited this time?"

At this time, someone in the hall was discussing the opening of the Yuxu Taoist Temple.

Hearing this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but look into the hall.

"Hey, I don't know that Yuxu Taoist Temple recruits people very high and strictly. When there are more than ten people recruited, those who fail to meet the standard will not be accepted. It is better to be short than to be indiscriminate. That's it. Ten years later, if you don't reach the standard Anyone who is asked by the Yuxu Taoist Temple to build a Dao foundation will be expelled from the Taoist temple."

"Yeah, every time I recruit people, almost all the young people from my Huiyang Prefecture are gathered, at least tens of thousands. If I don't only accept people under the age of ten and over the age of five, I think they will be with me. Many. That’s it, I remember it was recorded that once there were more than [-].”

"I've heard old people say that once when recruiting people, none of them met the standard. The Yuxu Taoist Temple was confiscated, and it was closed for ten years. As a result, in those ten years, my Huiyang Mansion was not less than a few neighbors. laugh at."

"Ah, are the demands so high?"

"Choose one in a million!"

"If you have good qualifications, will you not accept them if you don't meet the requirements?"

"This is not necessarily, it depends on the decision of the immortal masters."

Hearing this, Zhou Fan was not sure about the recruitment of Yuxu Taoist Temple this time.Originally, he thought that he would be able to be recorded by virtue of his innate Taoism, but he didn't expect to be hit in the head now.Now that there are such rumors, it must be groundless. Thinking of this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but frown, obviously a little uneasy in his heart.

Looking at Zhou Fan's frown, Zhou Tiezhu thought he was frightened by the high elimination rate, and he couldn't help comforting him: "Xiao Fan, it's up to people to do it, don't be distracted by these words, just do your best. Thinking about failure just makes you lose heart."

Zhou Fan came back to his senses, heard Zhou Tiezhu's words, and nodded deeply, yes, it's up to people, it's too early to think about it now, even if Yuxu Taoist Temple doesn't accept it, wouldn't there be other fairy sects! !I don't believe that there is only Yuxu's family in this world. Of course, it would be even better if they can succeed, otherwise they would have to spend time looking for other immortal sects.

"Guest officer, the dishes are here, please take your time." Xiao Er's sound of serving food interrupted Zhou Fan's meditation.Looking up, seeing Uncle Zhou looking at him with a worried face, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Zhou, let's have dinner. I figured it out. It's my luck and my life. It's not right to think about it now."

"That's right, as expected of someone who has drunk ink for a few years, I'm lucky if I get it, and my life is lost, okay, that's great, just figure it out, come, come, eat and eat." Zhou Tiezhu smiled when he heard the words road.

At this time, another voice came from the hall.

"I heard that the eldest son of our mansion [the highest official of a mansion] had a vision from the sky on the day of his birth. The sky was full of red clouds, and birds and beasts were singing. I think the eldest son must have an extraordinary physique."

"Well, I remembered it when you said that. In the past few years, not only the eldest son was born with a vision, but several of them were born with a vision from the sky. I don't know what happened."

"Hey, do you think something big is going to happen? I read it in an ancient book. Before every big event, there must be something extraordinary. Do you think this is the extraordinary thing?"

"Shut up, you, the Holy Majesty is in power now, the country is stable, and we will live and work in peace and contentment. Then something big will happen. If you say such nonsense now, even if I don't punish you with words, it will be enough for you to drink a pot." A friend next to him After drinking it in a hurry, the man had no choice but to shut up.For a moment, the entire hall seemed a little quiet.

When Zhou Fan heard this, he secretly wrote it down, and later consulted an expert. Something is unusual, and this is a world with extraordinary power. Good things will happen.
