The celebration banquet was very simple, just killing a few sheep in the center of the town and setting up some tables. All the influential people in the town came, and some common people came with their children.
Seeing Mrs. Chen and Chen Chen arriving, the people all greeted them excitedly.
"Folks! Originally, I had been worried about the problem of teachers, and planned to hire someone from another town. But now there is no need. Mrs. Chen is willing to teach the children in our town. In addition, Chen Chen saved the Qin family father and son regardless of their lives this morning.
This is a happy event for our Luoye Town, let’s celebrate without getting drunk today.” Luo Song waved his arms and shouted loudly.
"Okay!" the people of Luoye Town shouted loudly.
Not wanting to stand around stupidly all the time, Chen Chen said hello to his mother, and ran to chat with Qin Nuo and Er Hu.
"Chen Chen, thank you. If you don't go today, my father and I will be doomed, and my mother and sister will not know how to live." Qin Nuo said this with tears in his eyes.
"We are friends, so don't be polite. If you want, just thank Erhu. It was Erhu who informed me." Chen Chen patted Qin Nuo on the shoulder and said.
"Chen Chen, when you didn't come, I heard from the mayor that he would send you to Nanshan County to study, so we wouldn't be able to play together in the future." Erhu said sadly.
"Then didn't you ask if we could go together?" Chen Chen also didn't want to be separated from Qin Nuo and the two tigers.
Erhu shook his head and said nothing.
"The Burning Heaven Sect's Holy Land is very strict in recruiting students. Only those with connections can get the qualifications. There is still an assessment to get in. There is no hope for us." Qin Nuo said with some disappointment.
"So that's it, let me ask the mayor!" Chen Chen stood up and walked towards Luo Song's table.
"Come, Chen Chen, sit here." Seeing Chen Chen coming, Luo Song pulled out the chair next to him.
"Mr. Mayor, Qin Nuo and Erhu also want to go out to practice. I wonder if Mr. Mayor can help?" Chen Chen leaned over and asked.
"This... Burning Heaven Sect Holy Land is no better than ordinary cultivation sects. It is one of the five major cultivation holy places on the mainland. The number of disciples to be recruited is very limited. So I will write another letter and ask Luo Shan, but there is really not much hope." Luo Song
He said somewhat helplessly.
"Thank you, Lord Mayor." Chen Chen knew that Luo Song was telling the truth.
In the next few days, Chen Chen worked hard to stabilize his cultivation. During this period, Qin Nuo and Er Hu almost stayed in Chen's house and practiced boxing with Chen Chen.
In the past, Qin Nuo and Er Hu came to Chen's house secretly, and Mrs. Chen turned a blind eye.
Mrs. Chen didn't let Chen Chen practice before. After Chen Chen killed the Roaring Beast, she stopped caring about it, so Qin Nuo and Er Hu dared to come in to discuss the practice with Chen Chen.
Luoye Town is close to the Luoye Mountains. In addition to farming, it makes a living by hunting. Therefore, after an ordinary child is born, he will follow the adults to practice. Of course, it is not a formal practice.
Mrs. Chen asked Qingzhu to clean up the wing on the west side of Chen's house and use it as a school for the children in the town.
On the sixth day after Chen Chen killed the roaring beast, Luo Song brought several respected elders from the town to Chen's Mansion to hold the opening ceremony. Then the children in the town came to Chen's Mansion to go to school every day.
Mrs. Chen comes from a very knowledgeable background and has no problem teaching these children. Mrs. Chen has a good temper and is patient, and all the children in the town like her very much.
Since Mrs. Chen did not object, Chen Chen spent all day practicing, and his cultivation improved rapidly, and he had already stabilized his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi training.
"Chen Chen, good news!" Luo Song walked into Chen's house just when Chen Chen had just finished a set of boxing and was about to take a rest.
"Mr. Mayor, what's the good news?" Chen Chen took the towel hanging on the tree and wiped his sweat before asking.
"You have plans to practice. The Nanshan Branch of the Burning Heaven Sect Holy Land will recruit new students on September 1st. The time is just in time." Luo Song said excitedly.
"Thank you Lord Mayor, can Erhu and Qin Nuo go?" Chen Chen asked.
"This time, Nanshan County College, the Holy Land of Burning Heaven Sect, is recruiting a large number of students. Your place is recommended. They have to pass the assessment. It is said that there are three levels in the assessment. Each level is more difficult than the last. Erhu and Qin Nuo have no orthodox qualifications.
It's difficult to pass after practicing, so if you want, try it." Luo Song shook his head and was not very optimistic about Erhu and Qin Nuo.
"I'll ask them later if they want to give it a try. Thank you very much, Lord Mayor." Chen Chen expressed his gratitude in front of him.
"Don't thank me. You have reached the sixth level of Qi training at the age of twelve, so you are qualified." Luo Song said with a smile.
"Chen Chen would like to thank the mayor for guiding him." Under his mother's education, Chen Chen was very polite, and Luo Song should be called "sir" if he has an official position.
"Chen Chen, don't call me Mayor anymore, just call me uncle." Luo Song reached out and patted Chen Chen on the shoulder, feeling very satisfied.
"Then when is the best time for us to hit the road?" Chen Chen nodded and asked.
"Time is very tight. You will leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest. If you go early, make preparations early. Uncle will write a letter to Luo Shan when he gets back." Luo Song left with a smile.
Luo Song was very happy because he saw that the talents of Luoye Town were about to show their prominence.
After Mrs. Chen sent the children away, she knew something was wrong when she looked at her son standing at the door of the hall.
"Mom, Uncle Luo Song just said that Nanshan County College, the Holy Land of Burning Heaven Sect, will be recruiting students on September 1st. We will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest." Chen Chen looked at his mother with a somewhat reluctant look in his eyes.
"What's wrong, now you know you can't let go of your mother? It's right for you to have your own ideals when you grow up. Mother supports you." Mrs. Chen stepped forward and put her arms around her son's shoulders.
"But, Chen'er is gone, there is no man in the family, and there is no one to pat mother's back." Chen Chen lowered his head and felt a little depressed.
"Come in, mother has something to tell you slowly." Mrs. Chen pulled her son into the living room.
What Mrs. Chen is worried about is that when Chen Chen communicates with the Chen family, he can't help but get into conflicts with the Chen family.
"Mom, I know this matter well, and I will control the situation. Sooner or later, they will realize how stupid their original actions were. I want to wash away my father's grievances, and the Chen family will have to pay the price for expelling us, mother and son." At this point.
Chen Chen looked angry.
"After you go there, you need to keep a low profile. Those who get there are either geniuses or have deep social backgrounds. We can't afford to offend them." Mrs. Chen stretched out her hand to help her son tidy up his robes, and the look on her face showed what she was thinking.
Very worried.
"Chen'er understands. Didn't you say it before? Nowadays, people cannibalize people. Humans are more terrifying than any beasts and monsters. Chen'er doesn't dare to forget this." Chen Chen said to his mother.
"It's good if you can remember. When do you plan to set off?" Mrs. Chen could see that her son was persistent in practicing cultivation, and his determination was evident from his words and actions.
"It's early rather than late, Chen'er plans to leave tomorrow." Chen Chen knew that his mother couldn't bear to leave him, but for the sake of cultivation, Chen Chen could only do this.
"Okay, I'll let your Aunt Qingzhu cook something delicious. Mother will help you clean up. You go say goodbye to your children." Mrs. Chen knew that her son had a small circle, and there were two very close friends.
friend.
"They are coming with me, but they have to pass an assessment to determine whether they can enter the Nanshan County Branch of the Holy Land of Burning Heaven Sect." Chen Chen said to his mother.
"Then go ahead!" Mrs. Chen patted her son on the back.
Chen Chen left home and went to Qin Nuo's house first.
Qin Nuo's father and mother were particularly enthusiastic when they saw Chen Chen, because it was Chen Chen who saved the family regardless of his own life.
Chen Chen explained his intention and told the news that he would leave tomorrow.
When he heard that his son had the opportunity to take the exam at Burning Heaven Holy Land, Qin Dashan, a middle-aged man, was so excited that his voice trembled as he spoke.
The Qin family is different from the Chen family. Mrs. Chen wants her son to live a peaceful life without seeking fame or fortune, as long as he is safe. Mrs. Chen, who comes from a wealthy family, has seen through it all. But the Qin family is different. The Qin family has been farming and hunting for generations.
I hope that my descendants will be successful.
If you want to get ahead, practicing in the Five Holy Lands is the best shortcut. Disciples from the Five Holy Lands have a pivotal position in the empire. Outstanding disciples can be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and even ordinary ones can receive high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
"Chen Chen, thank you very much." Qin Nuo knew that although this was just an assessment opportunity, such an opportunity would not have been possible without Chen Chen's help.
"Stop talking politely between us. Let's go to Erhu's house. It's okay if you leave your house. But if Erhu's house is gone, his mother's life will be even more difficult." Chen Chen said with some worry.
Erhu's father went into the Luoye Mountains to hunt and bury the beasts. He said that they were a family, but in fact, mother and son depended on each other.
"Yes, although Erhu is still young, he can still maintain his family by hunting with the people in the town. His mother's life will be very difficult when he leaves. However, this opportunity is rare. Erhu must go. He
We'll just help take care of mother," Qin Dashan said.
"Thank you, Uncle Qin. I'll go over and take a look now." Chen Chen pulled Qin Nuo towards Erhu's house.
Arriving at the door of Erhu's house, Chen Chen felt a little sad when he looked at the low thatched house of Erhu's house. His family was in dire straits, but they were still living a good life. After all, they used to be members of a big family and still had some savings. In this small family,
There is no other family in the town that can compare, but the Erhu family is too difficult.
"Qin Nuo, let's find a way to help the Erhu family?" Chen Chen looked at Qin Nuo and said.
"Erhu's family is in trouble, but Erhu and his mother are relatively strong, so we can't help directly." Qin Nuo shook his head and thought about a solution.
"Your house is big, so you need someone to clean the house. If Erhu leaves, let Erhu Niang go to your house to do work, so they will accept it. As for the salary, I will tell my father." Qin Nuo didn't want to let it go.
Chen Chen and his son had too much to bear, but they were worried that Erhu's mother would not live well after Erhu left.
"What I'm most worried about is the assessment level." Chen Chen said what he was most worried about.
