This conflict between Wu Jie and Wei Teng soon became known to everyone in the town, because from then on, the arrogant and domineering Wei Teng lost all his arrogance when he saw Wu Jie, and would even take a detour.
And after this incident, everyone finally knew that the masters in this town were not only Xie Minghuan and Liu Ming's bodyguard, but also a young doctor who had hidden his secrets.
But it doesn’t matter if you know it. The vast majority of immortal seekers are relatively peaceful. Even if they are not good to others, at least they will not deliberately seek trouble. Wu Jie does not look like a person who likes to cause trouble. He is like a eating dog.
A tiger is taking a nap when it's full. As long as you don't join in and seek death yourself, he won't bother to do anything.
In this world, there are an extremely small number of people who like to seek death.
Of course, this includes Wu Jie himself.
"Brother Jie, you must have noticed it, right?" Sitting on the top of the cliff, Wu Jie confirmed that there was no third person in the sight except himself and Xie Minghuan, and then he said with confidence, "That Zhang
Blacksmiths are definitely not ordinary people!"
"Of course. No matter how big the fire is or how long he has been working, there is always so much sweat on his body." Xie Minghuan is not withdrawn and indifferent when facing masters of the same level. "I'm afraid that he deliberately forced the sweat out -
—But if you want to avoid sweating next to that kind of fire, even the masters of innate martial arts may not be able to do it."
Wu Jie was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he could see the flaw in this aspect, and then he praised him, deeply impressed by this old Jianghu's vision.
He often went to the blacksmith shop, but he never noticed the sweat on Zhang Long's body!
"Not only that, Brother Jie, look." He took out the sickle he bought before, then took out the nails and hammer, placed the nails on a piece of iron, and smashed it down hard with the hammer.
There was a ding, and sparks flew everywhere, but there wasn't even a scratch on the iron spirit.
This scene shocked Xie Minghuan. He stared at the scythe and asked: "I have bought something made by him before, and it is only average in use. Why is this scythe so weird?"
"The strange thing is not the sickle, but this small area." Wu Jie did not hide his secrets and explained to him in detail the situation of the small piece of iron essence.
Xie Minghuan had never heard of such a thing as "iron essence", but he easily understood what Wu Jie said, and his eyes suddenly became hot when he looked at the sickle, as if he saw a powerful person through the sickle, who could easily practice
The great master of the iron spirit saw the hope of breaking through the bottleneck and entering the innate martial arts.
"Master Zhang is indeed a real person!" An excited smile appeared on that cold face for the first time, "Thank you, Brother Wu, for your guidance! This kindness will be something that Xie will never forget!"
Wu Jie also laughed, and then finally came to the real topic of today's invitation to Xie Minghuan: "The problem now is that Master Zhang obviously doesn't like to be disturbed by others. How should we convince him? If we accidentally anger him,
Don’t talk about seeking immortality, I’m afraid your life will be in danger!”
Hearing this, Xie Minghuan frowned and began to think deeply.
As a martial arts senior who has been in the world for nearly twenty years, he has much more social experience than Wu Jie - even including the social experience in his previous life, Wu Jie has only been in the society for less than ten years in total, which is almost exactly his
half.
The social experience accumulated on the peaceful earth is actually not very useful in this crisis-ridden world. People in this world are much more sensitive than people on earth. Some trivial things on earth may irritate them and make them angry.
Their reactions were also exaggerated compared to those on Earth. Waving fists was considered polite, and drawing knives was commonplace.
After all, the country Wu Jie lived in back then had one of the lowest crime rates in the world and one of the highest levels of security. It was completely different from this dangerous world where people were often killed in wars. Maybe... this is what war-torn areas on the earth are like.
?
The reason why Wu Jie wanted to consult with Jie Mingyuan was because he hoped to use the other party's experience in the world to come up with a way to successfully persuade Zhang Long and seek immortality.
Xie Minghuan thought for almost an hour, his face changing from gloomy to clear many times, and finally he smiled, with some confidence in his eyes.
"Xie thought about it a lot, and finally felt that it would be better for us to go directly to the door to clarify the matter."
"Oh? Why? What if Master Zhang is angry?" Wu Jie was stunned and asked doubtfully.
"Qingniu Town is a holy place for seeking immortality, which is well-known far and wide. If Master Zhang really didn't want others to disturb him, he would have moved to another place long ago. He should stay here to practice in seclusion while looking for a suitable person.
Disciple." Xie Minghuan pointed at himself and then at Wu Jie, "Both of you and I are masters with half a foot in the innate martial arts, with strong bodies and strong wills. He uses blacksmithing as a pastime, so what he is looking for should be
Disciples like us!”
Wu Jie nodded slightly, feeling that what he said made sense.
"Although Master Zhang refuses to reveal his identity, judging from his usual words and deeds, he should be a relatively straightforward person. So if we go directly to the door and explain everything to request apprenticeship, he should accept us."
Wu Jie thought about it carefully, finally took a deep breath and made a decision.
Regarding Jianghu's understanding of people's hearts, this old Jianghu must be better than himself. In this case, then trust the opinions of professionals!
The next morning, after the immortal seekers went out one after another, Wu Jie and Xie Minghuan came to the blacksmith shop together.
"You are finally here." Before they could speak, Zhang Long spoke first, "I was wondering why you didn't come yesterday - have you finally made up your mind?"
After hearing this, the two of them no longer had any doubts and worshiped together.
Before they could bow down, Zhang Long had already stepped forward to support them without accepting their bows.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Recruiting disciples is not such a simple matter for the Immortal Sect. Don't say that you haven't become a disciple yet. Even if you have become a disciple, as long as you are not my disciple, you don't need to become a disciple of me - we don't have so many rules." He smiled honestly.
Then he took out two pieces of bamboo from somewhere and handed them to the two of them respectively. "These bamboo pieces are my tokens. Remember to take them with you. You will understand what happens next."
After thinking about it, he warned: "Don't come here again in the future, and don't spread the news about what happened today. We, the righteous monks, are very taboo about revealing our identity to mortals casually. Remember! Remember!"
When the two of them walked away, Zhang Long sat on the stool with a smile, took out a wine bottle from somewhere, raised his head and took a big sip, looking quite proud.
"We have recruited two talented young masters in one go. This time, we have completed the basic requirements for enrollment!"
Wu Jie suppressed the excitement in his heart, hurriedly returned to the inn, closed the doors and windows, and dived into the world of the Book of Heaven.
As soon as he entered the world of the Book of Heaven, he couldn't bear it anymore and looked up to the sky laughing.
No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and it won't take any effort at all!
"Congratulations, Master!" Jasmine came up and said with a smile, "This dragon really does have a sect. If a cultivator has a sect as a backing, life will be much easier!"
Du Ruo is naturally also happy to hear about this. She has always hoped to find a way to practice until she can appear in the daytime, because besides eating, she still likes to bask in the sun, and it is very inconvenient to be unable to move in the sun.
The three of them celebrated for a while, and then Wu Jie left the world of the Book of Heaven and took out the dark brown bamboo slip to look at it carefully.
This bamboo slip looks very ordinary, but it is much heavier than ordinary bamboo slips in the hand. There are many vague patterns on the bamboo slip that are like clouds in the sky. On the front of the bamboo slip are the four words "Keep integrity and don't lose", and on the back are painted
A bright red flame. When he put his finger on the drawn flame, he felt a stream of hot air flowing out of the bamboo slips, making his hands slightly hot.
When he entered the world of the Book of Heaven just now, he felt that the energy and blood in his body were flowing away rapidly, and he had to put down the bamboo slip - it can be seen that it is indeed not a mortal object, but a treasure that contains a lot of spiritual energy.
"It's a very simple magic weapon," Jasmine said, "but it's made with great care. It's probably a token of the sect."
Jasmine, who is very discerning, can be praised as "careful". This bamboo slip is indeed extraordinary!
Wu Jie took a closer look at the bamboo slip and felt that it looked familiar. After a while, he remembered that the "immortality token" passed down by the Tao Tu family seemed to be quite similar to this bamboo slip.
He had also seen the token before, which was a piece of emerald green bamboo board, square and about the size of half a palm. On the front was engraved "The future is long", and on the back was engraved a shepherd boy riding an old cow and herding sheep. Regardless of the text or the
The paintings are all simple, but they reveal a powerful and powerful force that leaves a deep impression on people.
No matter the shape or the words, the two tokens were different, but Wu Jie felt that there was an indescribable feeling in the two tokens, which made him feel that they were very similar to each other.
He wanted to look for Tao Tu to see the token again, but unfortunately Tao Tu had gone to Yingzui Cliff and would not be able to come back for at least ten or eight days.
Master Zhang Long had already told him not to go to the blacksmith shop, and Doctor Jiang An went out to look for craftsmen. Tao Tu and Liu Ming went to Yingzui Cliff. Xie Minghuan meditated in seclusion every day. For a while, there was no one he was familiar with in Qingniu Town.
.
Out of boredom, Wu Jie went to visit several other people in the town who looked a little special.
The owner of the grocery store, Zhou Zhou, is a middle-aged Confucian scholar who looks very pedantic and downtrodden. His personality is a bit simple, like the kind of nerd who has studied hard books since he was a child and made his brain stupid. He always looks at people and things for the best.
While thinking about it, I was often made fun of by the residents of the town.
It is said that this Mr. Zhou also studied in those days, but he did not even pass the examination as a scholar. After so many years in society, he suffered a lot of losses, big and small, and was so depressed that he ran a grocery store and had to rely on his own money.
I wrote letters for others and worked as a tailor to supplement my family income, and I was still living a tight life.
The reason is probably that he abides by the sage's words and only makes one-tenth of the profit in business, and the aunties in the small town bargain too hard, so that he often doesn't even get one-tenth of the profit.
Can't make money...
In addition, the restaurant's chef Li Goudan is also very special - not only his name is very unique, but his appearance is even more unique. This chef Li has a strong back and a strong waist, which is even better than Master Zhang Long.
He was all the same, but his face was quite delicate, like a well-mannered scholar. This vision of handsome features and a strong back made countless people who saw him for the first time stunned - Wu Jie was one of them.
Compared with Chef Li's strange appearance, the ordinary-looking postman Li Wushang seems very inconspicuous. In fact, he is indeed very inconspicuous, so inconspicuous that even if he stands in front of you, you will subconsciously ignore him.
Wu Jie felt that this Mr. Li really shouldn't be a postman. If he were to be a killer, he would definitely be a top killer. The target might die without knowing who killed it.
With the example of Master Zhang Long in front of him, Wu Jie estimated that Doctor Jiang, Mr. Zhou, Chef Li, and Mr. Li Cha were not ordinary people... Maybe even Li Huntun, Li Xiaoyao and his son were cultivators of immortality.
If you think about it carefully, this small town is simply the base camp of immortal cultivators!
