Chapter 163 Brother, help me wash it
Several days have passed since the two of them arrived in Yunji Town.
The wind and snow falling between the sky and the earth gradually stopped.
Chen An noticed that most of the people here had smiles on their faces. They were not sallow or thin, nor were their clothes in rags.
They seemed completely unaffected by disasters and wars.
It's true, anyone with any sense would dare to come to Yunji Town to cause trouble?
Didn't look at the carriages of the children of aristocratic families on the road, they were all lined up obediently.
Chen An even saw a hint of bright yellow in it.
I think it must be the royal family's car.
He held Mu Sanniang's hand and stood aside to get out of the way.
After his recent enlightenment, Mu Sanniang's mood obviously improved a lot.
At this moment, he was raising his eyes and silently looking at everything around him.
Pedestrians coming and going on the road, steaming vendors, and noisy sounds.
There was a lively look everywhere, completely different from the world in her impression.
They seemed to be the outliers in this small town. Their shabby clothes were incompatible with this place, attracting curious glances from time to time.
This place is like a paradise, no matter how windy or rainy the outside world is, it will not affect it at all.
This reminded Mu Sanniang of Liucheng.
When the gate of Liucheng opens occasionally, the scene you get a glimpse of inside is probably like this.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously held Chen An's hand tightly.
After getting along with each other these days, she unknowingly started to take Chen An as the leader in everything.
She is obviously the elder sister.
However, thinking of how reliable the boy had always been, Mu Sanniang was too embarrassed to speak out.
She always felt that if she were to lead the way, the two of them would probably not be able to find this Yunji Town...
Without saying anything, Chen An led the girl forward and officially entered this small town.
He frowned slightly and looked at the shops on the roadside.
He was looking for a place to rest.
Along the way, although I met more and more people, there were no twists and turns.
Perhaps everyone came here for the purpose of accepting disciples from the Immortal Sect, so they were very restrained in everything.
He didn't say that when he saw their shabby appearance, someone would jump up and ridicule them.
Some are just indifferent and ignorant.
At most, he would take one more look and then leave in a hurry.
After about a few minutes, Chen An's searching eyes lit up.
Not far ahead is an inn with a signboard.
He did not hesitate and pulled Mu Sanniang forward.
Walking into the inn, there is a hall on the first floor with several tables and chairs in the middle.
Chen An found the innkeeper and asked for a side room.
He originally thought that seeing how busy it was outside, the inns in the town would raise their prices on the spot.
But the price offered by the other party was still quite fair, which made Chen An feel relieved.
If the asking price is too high, then he will have no choice but to continue sleeping on the street with Sanniang.
While chatting with the innkeeper, Chen An asked about matters related to Taixuan Sect's recruitment of disciples.
The innkeeper was a short, fat, middle-aged man. When he heard Chen An's question, he smiled and didn't hide it. He leaned against the counter and started talking casually.
Over the years in Yunji Town, he has seen too many down-and-out people who, because of seizing this thread of immortality, have skyrocketed out of control.
So he set a rule for himself in life, which is to be kind to others.
Although the boy in front of him looked very embarrassed, he would not despise him just because of it.
"This matter of recruiting disciples has been around for a long time. It's nothing new. Anyone under the age of thirteen can give it a try."
Chen An was stunned and frowned, "According to this, there are so many people coming, how can the immortal master see them all?"
<divclass="contentadv">The innkeeper glanced at him, waved his hand, and smiled.
"Of course it won't be that simple. If you want to see the Immortal Master, you have to climb the mountain first."
"climb mountains?"
The innkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed to the door.
Chen An looked in the direction of his finger and could vaguely see a towering mountain range hidden in the clouds and mist.
The innkeeper continued: "In the future, if you want to seek immortality, you have to climb the Nanshan Mountain."
"At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, there is a stone ladder laid out by the Immortal Formation. It can test your mind and qualifications. If you can climb three thousand steps along the ladder, you can meet the Immortal Master."
Hearing this, Chen An couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Three thousand steps is actually far from being that many. I remember when I was in Blue Star, there were many famous mountains with four or five thousand steps.
If you just climb three thousand steps, then this fairy fate will be too simple.
Sure enough, the next moment he heard the innkeeper say: "Although these three thousand steps may not seem like many, how can the stone stairs laid out by the immortals be ordinary?"
His face showed some emotion, "Every time there are countless people climbing the mountain, but in the end, only a few people can successfully complete the three thousand steps."
After getting the information he wanted, Chen An politely thanked her and took Mu Sanniang upstairs.
The innkeeper stood there, looking at their leaving figures, rubbing his chin, looking curious.
Look at his appearance, and there are no adults around him. Could it be that he escaped from the north?
He then laughed at himself again.
Who cares, I'm just a mortal now, what are I doing with my free time?
……
……
Late at night.
Inn, room on the second floor.
After being exposed to the warmth indoors for a long time, Chen An felt a little excited.
He brought a basin of hot water and walked into the room.
Mu Sanniang was seen sitting on the edge of the bed, moving her buttocks from time to time, looking a little uncomfortable.
Chen An took the hot water and placed it at the girl's feet.
He smiled and said, "What's wrong, sister? You're not used to it?"
Mu Sanniang looked over, she hesitated for a moment, and then hummed.
Whether it was the days setting out from Liucheng or the days outside Liucheng, the only place to rest was the cold ground. When had you ever enjoyed such treatment?
It's normal to feel uncomfortable.
Chen An seemed more normal. He smiled and said, "Don't think so much. I finally asked the store for a basin of hot water. Come and wash your feet."
As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously moved to the girl's feet.
They are a pair of very worn and old cloth shoes.
As if feeling his gaze, the pair of small cloth shoes twisted restlessly.
Chen An coughed lightly and looked away.
He turned around and went out to the corridor on the pretext of getting some air.
Beside the bed, Mu Sanniang looked at her brother's back, and suddenly thought of the bad woman who suddenly appeared a few days ago.
She remembered clearly that her brother kept staring at her feet.
Mu Sanniang's expression changed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After a while, the girl's soft shout came from the room.
Chen An walked in.
He then saw that Mu Sanniang still put her feet in the basin and did not take them away.
He was stunned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the girl's slightly shy voice.
"Brother, please help me wash..."
In the basin, the glimmer of moisture was clearly visible.
The girl's ankles are slender and the arches of her feet are slightly stretched, confirming the owner's uneasy mood.
