V2.Chapter 10

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and looked like a carp out of the water. He didn't even pay attention to the cigarette holder falling on the counter, but asked with a face full of shock: "This...brother...no, This senior, I don't know what sect and school the senior is from?"

"Shushan sect Ye Wen!" Ye Wen introduced himself with a smile. He revealed his sect name just to see if there is a Shushan sect in this world. Whether it is annexation or overthrow, we have to get this signboard in our hands.

I saw the Taoist frowned and thought for a while, and finally he had to answer politely: "Please forgive me for my ignorance, I have never heard of my senior's sect, really... this junior is Zhang Heng, an outer disciple of the Tianfu Sect in Guangdong. Guang, I offended you a lot just now, I hope you don’t blame seniors!"

Although Zhang Hengguang is only an outer disciple of Tianfu Sect, he also knows some things that ordinary people don't know. This world is far from being as safe as it appears on the surface, and the forces lurking in the dark are getting stronger and stronger one by one. At the same time, there are many incredible forces in the magical land of his own motherland.

The Tianfu Sect he studied as a teacher is just one of many sects, and it is quite famous in the local area, but it is nothing if you want to get the whole practice world.

Although he has never met a real senior in the cultivation world, he has also learned a thing or two from some elders in the faction. Others don't know. He still clearly remembers that those who can use sword energy are not ordinary people. It's fine if it's produced by relying on magic weapons. If it can be used with bare hands, its cultivation level can be called terrifying, at least it is an old monster who has practiced for hundreds of years. At least none of their Tianfuzong can release a sword energy casually.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hengguang's title changed a little, and it was more respectful: "Old man... I don't know how you came to the United States?" Generally, this kind of old guy who is hundreds of years old is more diligent in cultivation. , rarely go out and run around. Because although a practitioner has a long lifespan, it is not an endless lifespan.

The so-called comprehension mostly seeks longevity! Having practiced for hundreds of years, no one wants to leave this world with a full body of cultivation, so they will work hard to make further progress and to make their lifespan longer.

The person in front of him can release a sword aura at will, and with such a young face, could it be that some old senior has achieved success in cultivation, and after breaking through a certain level of difficulty, he came out to relax?

He raised his eyes and looked at the two women. Although the two women were not different in the eyes of others, the movements of raising their hands and feet revealed some ancient habits, especially the two women were obviously different about their clothes. The performance of adaptation made him feel that his guess was more and more correct.

Ye Wen, who had been promoted from brother to senior in just a few minutes, and now an old senior, didn't explain it. Since people in this world think that those with high cultivation bases are old monsters, he doesn't mind pretending to be a big clove of garlic!

In addition, it is good news for Zhang Hengguang that he has never heard of the Shushan School. Perhaps the name Shushan School does not exist in this world.

"I've been practicing in the mountains for a long time, and I've been wandering around since I came out. Tell me about the cultivation world in the Central Plains later!" Ye Wen waved at Zhang Hengguang when he saw Zhang Hengguang was still standing at the counter. Wave your hand and let him straighten up before speaking.

"Yes, but according to the orders of the seniors!"

Zhang Hengguang's head was slightly stained with sweat. He was a little worried that his words and deeds just now would make this senior unhappy. He peeked a few times, and he was relieved when he saw Ye Wen always smiling.

"Senior is a senior, this temperament is really extraordinary, but I think too much..."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Hengguang went straight to the door and closed it. At the same time, he hung up the door sign and made a gesture of invitation to everyone: "Senior, please go to the backyard for a cup of tea!"

At this time, Ye Wen seemed to have the feeling of being the head of Shushan back then. He turned into the backyard with his head held high and his hands behind his back. If you didn't look at his clothes, but only looked at his demeanor, you would definitely think that he was a big man—— Lores and Claire were both stupid now, and the well-informed paladin finally realized that he might have befriended a big man in the Eastern practice world this time, and at this time he obediently followed behind without saying a word.

Please go to the back hall, Ye Wen found that the decoration and furnishings here are completely designed according to ancient Chinese customs, after seeing Zhang Hengguang asking him to sit on the first seat, Ye Wen also waved his hand and pointed to the seat next to him. "Sit together!"

And after serving the teacup according to the ancient custom, Zhang Hengguang was even more confident with Ye Wen's skillful movements. The many movements of hands and feet are just like those of the ancestors in this school, and they are completely natural and definitely not pretended.

Ning Ruxue and Hua Yi are very familiar with these habits, and Flores understands a little bit. Only Claire stares at a few people, looking at the hot teacup without a handle and doesn't know how to drink it.

Until this moment, Flores was still looking up and down at this oriental man whom he hadn't taken seriously before, and his eyes started to turn around, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After Zhang Hengguang greeted Ye Wen for a while, he started talking with Ye Wen: "I don't know what the so-called senior came to the United States?"

Ye Wen smiled: "Find something, and earn some worldly money by the way!"

"Huh?" Zhang Hengguang was a little confused. The things used by practitioners can rarely be bought with money. I don't know what this senior of the Shushan School wants money for?

Ye Wen saw that he was a little puzzled, so he said, "I want to open a school to promote the reputation of our sect!"

"Oh!"

In this way, Zhang Hengguang understands that this is not a rare thing. Not to mention others, just those well-known Wudang, Emei, and Shaolin, which ones have some industries in the secular world. For what? Isn't it just to enhance their own prestige! After all, the world of practice is also composed of people, and those who practice rarely have children, so naturally they must constantly absorb more people into this circle.

Therefore, absorbing ordinary people into some secular industries, and then selecting people with outstanding aptitude to step into the threshold of practice, this is the most common choice of many big schools.

In addition to these big sects, there are also some small sects that open some martial arts gyms or martial arts schools, or simply have their own Taoist temples on certain hills. These are all possible, anyway, each family has its own way .

For example, Zhang Hengguang, when he was in school, he was playful and failed in high school, so he had to go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to do odd jobs, drawing some safe symbols for pilgrims to make money.

At that time, he didn't expect that he would usher in a chance. He was attracted by an inconspicuous old Taoist priest who led him at that time, and finally introduced Houshan Tianfuzong. It's just that his playful nature made him miss out on greater opportunities. In the end, he could only be an outer disciple of the Tianfu Sect, and he never entered the inner sect to learn more advanced talisman techniques.

Of course, these are all digressions. To sum it up, each sect has its own means of recruiting disciples, and it is not uncommon to open a martial arts school or the like. The only trouble is that you need to deal with the worldly people, and you need a lot of money.

Looking at Ye Wen, this senior can be regarded as a sensible person. After leaving the mountain, he didn't just put up a signboard and open the school. Instead, he went around to find out the situation before he was ready to take action.

If this is the case, as long as this senior is willing to make a move, the dark mage Lao Shizi is nothing to fear, and it is not a big deal to share the spoils obtained with this senior. It would be a good thing for him personally if he could establish some relationship with this senior.

If this senior is happy to give him some advice, then the cultivation base that has been stagnant for a long time can be improved, and after returning to the teacher's door, maybe the teachers can accept him into the inner door.

After hearing Zhang Hengguang's words, Ye Wen realized that opening a martial arts school is not a rare move. Shaolin and Wudang, which are also big schools in the practice world, will also open martial arts schools to find outstanding disciples. There is nothing wrong with proving your way.

No one would have guessed that Ye Wen wanted to build up enough prestige in the eyes of ordinary people before slowly infiltrating into the middle-earth practice world—other than that, he really couldn't think of a better way Now, is it possible to plunge into the practice world and then go back to consider the disciple's problem?

Chatted with Zhang Hengguang a few more words, although it was just nonsense for a while, he also heard that there are almost no such casual cultivators in the practice world of the Central Plains, and all monks are cultivated by various sects, large and small. It's almost impossible to try to become a master on your own, like the world you used to live in.

In fact, he really wanted to ask, could it be that in the past few hundred years, no one was a lone ranger who broke into the world of practice because of a great opportunity? But looking back, the Cultivation World of the Central Plains claims to have a history of thousands of years. No matter how big the Central Plains is, it is not boundless after all. How many geniuses, treasures and rare cheats have been wiped out by the predecessors. , how can it be the turn of the present people to look for it?

In addition, it is now the industrial age, and the rumble of machines has destroyed a lot of the environment, and perhaps the only remaining little bit of genius, Treasure Cave and Heavenly Paradise, has been destroyed in this way.

Thinking of this, Ye Wen took back his words, not to mention even if there are really solo monks? The people who still exist without sects are either old immortals with high cultivation bases, or ordinary "protagonist" characters who have become stronger because of adventures. These people are not the kind of people who can be accepted into the sect as disciples. It seems My civil and martial arts school really had to be established, otherwise even if I set up a mountain gate, I am afraid that it would not receive half of the disciples.

After chatting, Ye Wen then learned something that made him dumbfounded.

"Although I haven't heard of the sects of the seniors, in Sichuan, that is, in the land of Shu, there are schools called Shushan Civil and Martial Arts School or Shushan Wushu School. The school is considered to be somewhat famous. If there are similar schools in remote places that people don't even know about, then I don't know how many there are..."

Ye Wen lowered his head and drank his tea, feeling extremely depressed in his heart. He never thought that the name he had randomly chosen at the beginning would cause him such a headache now, but even if he wanted to choose a different name, he would not be able to show that he was from Shushan!

"Hey, who told us to change the school's name to Shushan? We have to find a way to get the name out first!" Ye Wen put down the teacup, and the first thought that popped into his head was: Hype!

"Build your own reputation first, and then solve the school's reputation!"

Having said that, how to make his name bigger is not a small problem. Although for Ye Wen, he has countless ways to make himself famous overnight, but those methods are either too cruel to ordinary people - and it is not easy for him to return to China. There is no positive help from the school.

Either it is too cruel to himself - Ye Wen asked himself that it is absolutely fine to be a star on his own terms, and opening a school as a star will definitely attract attention. But he doesn't think that circle is so clean, is it possible that he still has to be sneaked by someone?

With a shiver, Ye Wen immediately gave up this idea, and then he planned to use the most old-fashioned and most despised way to become famous.

Show off your wealth!

That's right, it is to spend money to get his fame out, but there is still a prerequisite for this, that is, he must have enough funds to support him, otherwise it will still be just a joke.

"Are... all dark mages rich?"

No one thought that the topic would suddenly jump to that dark mage again. What was even more surprising was that Ye Wen, who should have a lot of background, turned out to be money when he opened his mouth.

Zhang Hengguang also felt that this senior seemed a little different. The patriarchs in his school were all like sculptures, and they had no interest in worldly money. In their eyes, those things were just like pieces of paper. This senior who may be older than his own ancestor talks about money.

But thinking about other people's important things to do, it's normal to care about the amount of money so much, so he explained: "Dark mages are all alone, and they are usually used to living in ordinary society. And doing experiments And doing research requires a lot of money to buy some equipment and a suitable test site, and dark mages usually don't have any worries, they have many ways to get a lot of money, so..."

"Understood!" Ye Wen nodded, and then determined in his heart that the guy named Mudrak must die, and he must get a considerable part of his property as the basic start-up capital.

"Then, let's find a way to find this guy first!"

Seeing that he finally got back to the topic, Flores interrupted. He had been sitting here just now like a sculpture, and he couldn't get in the middle of what Ye Wen and Zhang Hengguang said. But it wasn't fruitless for him, he finally knew something about the mysterious oriental practice world.

In fact, if Flores went to the mainland for a while, he would be able to know this situation by walking around for a while, but European forces hardly go to the east, so this situation happened. The things he heard today, It is a well-known matter in the Eastern practice world, otherwise Ye Wen would not have found out about it from an outside disciple of a small sect.

When it came to the hiding place of the dark mage, several people discussed countermeasures. Claire even proposed to go back and check the entry files and real estate transaction records, hoping to find some suspicious things from this aspect, and then slowly investigate.

"If you follow your method of investigation, you can arrange the funeral directly when you find your brother!"

It’s not that Claire’s approach is wrong, but according to the normal method of investigation, I really don’t know when to find it. At this time, Zhang Hengguang said: “I have a way to find the dark mage in the shortest time. It’s just that I can’t cast this spell with my cultivation!”

Seeing Zhang Hengguang looking at him, Ye Wen guessed that this guy wanted to help him, so he asked, "What spell?"

"It's actually just a small spell, but with my cultivation base, at most, I can search within a radius of 100 meters. If it's the cultivation base of seniors..."

He didn't go into details, because Zhang Hengguang didn't know how far he would be able to explore if Ye Wen cast this spell!

"Is it troublesome?" Ye Wen was also a little tempted, but he didn't know if the strength he had acquired from martial arts practice could activate the spell.

I saw Zhang Hengguang smiled, and took out a talisman from his arms: "It's not troublesome at all, this mind-searching soul talisman was won by the younger generation from a bet from the elders in the school, and it can be regarded as a well-known one in this sect. One of the talismans! As long as you hold this talisman and practice according to a specific mantra, you can release your spiritual thoughts out of your body and use your spiritual thoughts to find the person or thing you want. Generally speaking, For the dark mage, it is right to look for the place with the strongest dark breath, the junior will tell the spell to the senior first, and then we will find a place..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Hengguang stared blankly at Ye Wen who was holding a talisman in front of him. The talisman was already on fire at this time, but the burning speed was much slower than that of cigarettes. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even see that the talisman had already started to burn.

This means that the talisman has been activated, and the senior in front of him touched the talisman without even chanting a spell. This is actually not impossible, but there is a very harsh condition: the requirement for skill is terrifying. At the same time, the deeper the skill of the user, the slower the talisman will burn. If Zhang Hengguang used it, it would burn out within a few minutes.

Ye Wen held the talisman with one hand and closed his eyes without speaking, while Zhang Hengguang forgot to stop him because he was stunned. Everyone just looked at Ye Wen with his eyes closed.

After a while, Ye Wen opened his eyes, and the talisman in his hand stopped burning. At this time, only one corner of the talisman was burned.

Taking the talisman from Ye Wen, Zhang Hengguang just pinched it and shouted in surprise: "How is this possible?" However, he noticed that the aura in this talisman hadn't been lost at all, which proves that this talisman can still be used , no different from the new one. At the same time, this also means that when Ye Wen used this chapter of talismans just now, he was completely consuming the aura he possessed.

But this is nothing, Ye Wen's subsequent words almost made him slip under the stool in fright—"I felt a very strong dark atmosphere in a luxury villa in the suburbs, and I think it is the hiding place of the dark mage So, let's get ready and set off..."

"The suburbs..." Zhang Hengguang didn't know what to say anymore, he could only serve this old man who didn't know how long he had lived respectfully.
