On April 15th, the weather was unbelievably sunny. There was not a single cloud in the sky since early in the morning, and only the scorching sun was shining overhead.
Wu Jie sat on the balcony of the inn, looking at the town that had returned to calm, feeling relaxed and content.
Last night, Dr. Shogan sent a pharmacy clerk to give him a block-printed "On Germ". Compared with the original manuscript he had in hand, the officially published "On Germ" has been carefully modified in terms of wording and sentence making, making it more simple and harmonious.
It is easy to understand, and there is an additional preface at the beginning written by Chen Hongyi, a Southeast Asian scholar.
In the preface, Old Master Chen spoke very highly of germ theory and gave a very high evaluation to the germ theory. He almost praised it to the sky. He also praised the three people who proposed the germ theory, and even said, "This is the common people's theory."
"The blessing of the people is the blessing of the common people!"; "The third son has great wisdom, great benevolence and righteousness, a bright head and a poor man, he devoted all his efforts and blood, and finally completed a single article, which makes gods and ghosts sigh!"; "Benefiting all people, the merits will last forever, this is a saint.
The so-called 'contribution to the world is not limited to one country and one moment'!"...
This preface made Wu Jie secretly blush, but he couldn't help but be secretly proud.
The blush is because these achievements should not belong to him, but to the scholars on the earth who have studied germ theory; and the pride is because of the sense of achievement - vanity is only a small part of it, and more is the contribution to society.
Contribution brings pride.
A great event has finally come to a successful conclusion, and he is very satisfied with it.
Regardless of the outcome of his quest for immortality, the harvest from this trip to Qingniu Town has far exceeded expectations. It can even be said that even if he fails to achieve immortality in the end, just based on this "Bacteria Theory", his time-traveling
My life has not been in vain.
Having this achievement in your life is already enough!
The more he thought about it, the happier he became and couldn't help but laugh again.
At this moment, he saw a figure he had never seen before walking into Qingniu Town.
She was a very gorgeously dressed woman. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. In terms of appearance and figure, she was pretty. However, the colorful silk clothes and various bits and pieces of accessories made her look very cumbersome.
Wu Jie felt that if he wore so many accessories, it would be very troublesome for him to walk. If he was not careful, he would be pricked by something on his head or scratched by something, which would make him look very embarrassed.
But this woman has obviously practiced her appearance and posture. Although she is dressed in pieces, her walking is not affected at all, and the speed of her feet is actually quite fast.
She was leading a snow-white horse. The horse was a little taller than the average high-quality horse. There was not even a single variegated hair on its body. Its movements were even more vigorous and brisk, especially its eyes were full of energy and vitality.
It exudes a mighty temperament and looks more like a tiger than a horse!
This man and horse walked along the stone road in Qingniu Town. For some reason, wherever they passed, both people and animals stopped and stood there blankly, remaining completely still.
It's like the emperor's patrol in a movie or TV show. The soldiers and officials are lined up on both sides, standing there motionless, not even daring to make a sound.
Wu Jie stared at the overly gorgeous woman with confusion, and saw that she did not hesitate or pause at all, nor did she look either way, and went straight to the door of the inn.
At this time, she raised her head and looked at Wu Jie.
Her eyes were very bright, full of strong self-confidence, and there was an aura between her eyebrows that was hard to look directly at. The moment he looked at her, Wu Jie even thought, "This person is very powerful, I want to stay away."
feeling.
He frowned, suppressing the panic in his heart, and a surge of anger arose spontaneously. He couldn't help but stand up with his eyes wide open, wanting to yell at the woman.
But before he could speak, the woman spoke first.
"Junior Luo Yu, please see Mr. Huntian!" She bowed towards the door of the inn and said in a pleasant voice.
Wu Jie was stunned and swallowed back the roar he was planning to blurt out.
It was obvious that Luo Yu knew that "Mr. Huntian", and she seemed to know everything about Qingniu Town. This made him very curious, and he wanted to wait and see what would happen next.
After Luo Yu called out, no one answered for a long time.
She just kept her bowing posture and stood there motionless.
Time passed slowly, and the stationary pedestrians quickly recovered, and the street returned to its previous appearance. Only Luo Yu still maintained this posture and stood at the door of the inn, like a statue.
It wasn't until the sun gradually rose to high in the sky that Li Xiaoyao walked out with a grimace and complained to her: "Miss Luo, if you make such a fuss, our whole show will be ruined!"
"I do have something to ask you to see Mr. Huntian, senior, please forgive me!"
Li Xiaoyao sighed and shook his head repeatedly: "This is against the rules. Dad will not see you before the selection test is over."
"Today is already April 15th, I will wait until sunset."
"...Aren't you trying to ruin our situation!" Li Xiaoyao became anxious and shouted, "Is this how Yunmengjun's family members do things?"
"I don't dare to be rude, but I really need to see Mr. Huntian for something important..."
"Don't blame me for being rude if you do this again! Don't think that I won't beat you because you are a junior! You weren't even born when I chopped the poisonous dragon to death in the Blackwater River!" Li Xiaoyao rolled up his sleeves, looking very excited.
It means hitting someone if you don't agree with your words.
Luo Yu remained motionless, but the white horse next to him came over and squeezed towards Li Xiaoyao, as if to push him away to protect his master.
"You little thing who hasn't even grown a horn, are you seeking death!" This move not only failed to squeeze Li Xiaoyao away, but also angered him. He shouted angrily, widened his eyes, and there was a faint white light flashing in his right hand.
It looks like they are really going to take action!
At this moment, Li Huantun's voice suddenly sounded inside the inn: "Let her come in."
"But……"
"Forget it. That's all we can keep anyway, not more. Let's end the first round like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery suddenly became blurry.
Wu Jie stood on the edge of the balcony leaning on the railing. He saw the whole town suddenly stopped, and then quickly blurred. In an instant, both the houses in the distance and the inns nearby became hazy, and the town was completely blurred.
The residents above were all blurred.
In the blur, only the mountains in the distance are clear.
He looked down at himself, only to see that his body was becoming hazy and blurry, and he was suddenly startled. Just as he was about to react, Jasmine shouted in her heart: "Don't be afraid!"
She just screamed, and the balcony beneath her feet shook and fell apart in an instant.
Wu Jie took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm during the rapid fall. He could only hear whistling in his ears. His body was falling rapidly, and a field of colorful things flew by in front of his eyes... He didn't know he was falling.
After a while, the body suddenly stopped.
Judging from the time he fell, even an innate master would be dead if he fell from such a height. But not only did Wu Jie not die, he didn't even suffer any injuries - the shock he received was like falling from a height of half a foot.
Jump down from the first step, that's all.
After calming down, Wu Jie looked around, only to find that he was still standing on the balcony of the inn, surrounded by Qingniu Town. But the residents of the town didn't know where they were, and the scenery of the mountains outside the town had also changed a lot, and
There were quite a few people at the entrance of the inn.
Those were the seekers who went out this morning. I don’t know why, but they all came back suddenly.
He went downstairs in confusion and found that most of the last twenty or so immortal seekers were gathered in the lobby on the ground floor of the inn, standing or sitting in twos and threes, with most of their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Seeing him coming, many people, including Tao Tu, were slightly relieved - as one of the only three masters among the immortal seekers, Wu Jie's strength was recognized by everyone; and he was in a bad situation before.
His act of standing up to maintain order at all times also made many people secretly praise his character. Seeing him appear now, those less powerful immortal seekers gained some confidence.
If there is any trouble, at least this Wu Daxia will help everyone within his ability.
Maybe he can't help much, but the psychological difference between being helpful and not being helpful is huge!
When all the immortal seekers arrived one after another, Li Huntun walked out from behind the counter and said calmly: "You have come all the way to seek immortality. We have all seen your performance in the past few days.
In the eyes.”
"During this period, we have conducted some tests on you through various methods. Everyone who can stay here is a talented person who has passed the test and can accept the real 'entry examination'."
"Perhaps many of you cannot pass the test and can only leave sadly in the end. But don't be discouraged. Everyone who can stay here at this moment will receive a token from us. In the future, if your descendants are determined to seek immortality, they will still
They can use the token to come to Qingniu Town and pursue opportunities that belong to them."
"Originally, I was supposed to stay here to preside over the real selection, but I have some urgent matters to deal with... Let Zhang Long take charge of the affairs here."
After saying that, a light flashed from his body, turning into a white rainbow and shooting away into the sky. The hidden blacksmith Zhang walked in from the door of the inn.
Zhang Long first said hello to Li Xiaoyao, and then introduced the rules of seeking immortality to everyone:
Everyone must first learn basic Qi training and health-preserving techniques here, and fast at the same time. On the first day of May, the second stage of the assessment will begin. If you can pass the second stage of the assessment, you will be qualified to study in the Immortal Sect.
However, you must pass the third stage of assessment before you can officially become a disciple of the Immortal Sect.
"Don't think that you are the only ones who come to seek immortality. In fact, the seekers from all over the world are scattered to many different 'Qingniu Towns'. After a while, you will all be gathered together - then you can
Don't be shocked."
After saying that, Zhang Long left directly, and everyone in the inn also found new rooms under Li Xiaoyao's arrangement.
Only then did everyone realize that the inn that originally had only three floors had turned into a seven-story high-rise, with cornices and brackets, carved beams and painted walls, which was extremely beautiful. The utensils in the room had also become exquisite and gorgeous, and I'm afraid it was even more beautiful than the previous one.
In the secular world, things in the palace are better!
"You are truly worthy of being an immortal!"
"...It's like I'm dreaming..."
"I...I...I really found my destiny!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Dad! It must be the blessing of your spirit in heaven! This child can get this fairy fate!"
"I don't have a problem with you crying, Dad, but don't spray your tears and snot on me!"
…
Amid the commotion, Wu Jie closed the door with a smile, lay on the bed, and let out a long breath.
The big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
