Chapter 3 Heaven and Earth Change?
When Zhou Fan woke up, it was already evening and he was so hungry that he was already quacking. After tidying up the instrument, he opened the door and headed towards the front yard as he was traveling.
When I arrived at the front yard, I happened to see Xiao Liu cleaning. I hurriedly walked forward and asked him: "I'm upset, this big brother, please tell my uncle where he is now!"
"You are welcome, Xiao Langjun, the shopkeeper has already told me to wait. When you wake up, you will take you to his resting place. Please come with me." After seeing that it was Zhou Fan, Xiao Liu hurriedly put down the broom in his hand, stretched his left hand forward, and made the request.
Zhou Fan nodded and followed Xiao Liu. Soon after, he arrived at a quaint courtyard. Not long after he sat down, he heard footsteps. Zhou Tiezhu's loud voice went from far to near.
"Xiaofan, let's have a rest. Let's take you out for a walk. "Uncle will take you out for something delicious."
"Uncle Zhuzi, I'm so grateful that you took me to the city. Don't spend more money." Zhou Fan refused.
"Hey, they are all from the villagers. They just say this and they will be out of the way. There are also... Cough cough... Xiaofan, it's nothing to call me Uncle Zhuzi in the village. It's in this city. Cough cough, just call me Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Tiezhu, who came to Zhou Fan, said with a little awkward smile.
"Uh, Zhu... Uncle Zhou, I've recorded it." Zhou Fan nodded quickly, obviously, he forgot this. It doesn't matter if he calls this in the village. If he still calls this in the capital, it would be a bit reluctant.
"By the way, Uncle Zhou, you really don't have to spend money. Just eat some casually. There are more than ten days left before the opening of the Taoist temple, and I want to bother you." Zhou Fan said with a smile to Zhou Tiezhu.
"It's just a few days, this is a mess!!! Let's take you to see the night view of the mansion." After that, Zhou Tiezhu forced Zhou Fan forward. Zhou Fan was just a little kid now, and he had the strength to break free, so he had to follow Zhou Tiezhu.
After leaving the pawnshop, the sky gradually darkened, and the big red lanterns on both sides of the street were lit up one after another. On the street market, the lights were dim and the pedestrians were everywhere. The whole city under the night was beautiful.
Walking and stopping on the road and enjoying the dim night view, I stopped shortly after a restaurant.
"Xiaofan, here is it. The braised pork here is awesome in the entire city. You have a good time. I'll give it a gift later. I'll give it a second time and a third time."
Looking at the crowds in front of the restaurant, Zhou Fan turned around and said to Zhou Tiezhu: "Uncle Zhou, there are so many people, so there should be no seat."
"It's okay, I'm very familiar with the shopkeeper here. I've said hello to him long ago. Leave me a place, let's go!" After that, I walked forward.
When he walked to the door, the waiter came forward: "Shopkeeper Zhou, you are here. The shopkeeper's position by the window has given instructions. Please move two more." After saying that, he stretched his left hand forward and greeted Zhou Fan and the others.
Follow the waiter to the second floor and sit down by the window. From this window, you can see the lively night view of the mansion outside. Looking around, a large area of beautiful scenery can be seen.
After ordering the dishes, Zhou Tiezhu turned around and saw Zhou Fan looking out the window, and said to him with a smile: "Xiaofan, this location is good. If I hadn't had the friendship with the shopkeeper here, I wouldn't have been able to order this location, haha!!!"
"Uncle Zhou spent money..." Before Zhou Fan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhou Tiezhu and widened his eyes and said, "Xiaofan, how many times have you asked me to say it? Don't be polite, don't be polite, why don't you listen?"
"I'm just listening to Uncle Zhou, so I'm not polite." Zhou Fan said hurriedly nodded.
"You kid, you have been drinking ink with that sour scholar for several years, why are you so upset with that scholar? It's so unpleasant." Zhou Tiezhu muttered alone.
The sour scholar Zhou Guanghua is the only person in Zhoujia Village who has passed the child exam. The official family distributed grain and just studied hard. Unfortunately, Zhou Guanghua was not lucky and never passed the exam. Seeing that he failed the exam many times, the county stopped his public grain. He was a scholar and did not know how to work in farm work, so he had to teach a private school to complete the work. Zhou Fan studied in his private school for a few years, and he was considered half a scholar.
"Hey, everyone, the day when the Yuxu Taoist Temple is opened once a year is coming. How many people do you think you will recruit this time?"
At this time, someone in the hall discussed the opening of the Yuxu Taoist Temple this time.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but look into the hall.
"Hey, Yuxu Taoist Temple recruits people so highly and severly. We don't know when there are more than ten people recruited, and those who have not met the standard will not be accepted. It is better to have nothing than to be too bad. In this case, those who have not met the requirements of Yuxu Taoist Temple to build a foundation in the lower Taoist temple will be opened to debut in the Taoist temple."
"Yes, every time I recruit people, I gathered almost all the young men from the Huiyang Mansion, and there were at least tens of thousands. If I hadn't only collected those under ten or over five years old, I would have thought that there would be more. Just this, I remember that there were records that once there were more than one hundred thousand."
"I have heard from the old people that once I recruited people, but no one met the standards. Yuxu Taoist Temple was confiscated and closed for ten years, which led to many ridicule of my Huiyang Mansion in those ten years."
"Ah, is the requirement so high?"
"Pick one in a thousand!"
"If you have good qualifications, will you not accept them if you don't meet the requirements?"
"This is not necessarily the case, it depends on the decision of the immortal masters."
.............
Listening to this, Zhou Fan was no longer sure about the Yuxu Taoist Temple attracting people. He originally thought that he would definitely be recorded with his innate Taoist body, but he didn't expect to be hit by the head now. Since this rumor is spreading, it must be groundless. Thinking of this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but frown, and he obviously felt a little uneasy.
Zhou Tiezhu looked at Zhou Fan's frowning, thinking that he was frightened by the high elimination rate, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Xiao Fan, things are done by man. Don't be confused by these words. Just do your best. Thinking about failure now will only make you lose confidence."
Zhou Fan came back to his senses, heard Zhou Tiezhu's words, and nodded deeply. Yes, things are caused by humans. It is too early to think about these things now. Even if Yuxu Taoist Temple is not accepted, aren't there any other immortal sects?! I don't believe that Yuxu's family is the only one in this world. Of course, it would be better if it could succeed, otherwise I would have to spend time looking for other immortal sects. If I don't talk about it, it would be difficult for my father and mother to pass the level.
"Customer, the food is here, please use it slowly." The waiter's voice interrupted Zhou Fan's contemplation. He raised his head and saw Uncle Zhou looking at him with a worried face. He couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Zhou, let's have a meal. I figured it out. I'm lucky if I get it, but I lose my life. It's a bit inappropriate to think about it now."
"That's right. I've been drinking ink for a few years. I'm lucky to get it, but I'm lucky to lose it. It's great. Just figure it out. Come on, eat vegetables and eat vegetables." Zhou Tiezhu smiled when he heard this.
At this moment, another sound came from the hall.
"I heard that the eldest son of our mansion, [the highest commander of the mansion], was born on the day when the eldest son of our mansion was born, with red clouds everywhere and birds and beasts chirping. I think the eldest son must be of extraordinary physique."
"Well, I remembered it when you say that. In the past few years, not only the eldest son had any strange phenomena when he was born, but several of them had strange phenomena from the sky when he was born. I don't know what happened."
"Hey, do you think something big is going to happen? I saw it in ancient books that before anything big is going to happen, there must be extraordinary. Do you think this extraordinary is this?"
"Shut up, you, now the emperor is in power, the country is stable, and we live and work in peace, then something big happens. Now, saying that such random words is not punished by words, it is enough for you to drink a pot." A friend next to him hurriedly drank, and the man had to shut up. For a moment, the whole hall seemed a little quiet.
