Chapter 206 Crazy Sword
More than 20 years have passed, and the Wanfa Sect's path to self-examination has long been rebuilt.
But for some reason, the pair of footprints on the first step have been preserved and have almost become the most famous attraction in Wanfa Sect.
How famous is it?
When monks from other sects come here, even if they do not enter the Wanfa Sect, they have to go to the mountain gate to see the pair of footprints with their own eyes, and then put their feet in to compare, before they can leave satisfied.
Wei Wenxin has been staying at home all these years and has not gone out. After receiving guidance from the ancestors from the upper realm, the Wanfa Sect has completely quieted down and no longer provokes her.
But there are so many people in this world, and everyone has their own ideas, so it is inevitable that many stories are made up.
There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger.
As rumors spread, they deviated from their original form and became so distorted that even the people involved could not recognize them.
Leaving aside other things, there are several theories about this pair of footprints alone.
One theory is that the Wanfa Sect had great reputation and asked the Wanjian Sect for help in mining spiritual mines. Unexpectedly, they actually asked the Wanjian Sect's eldest senior sister to do the job personally.
As a result, when it came time to settle the remuneration, the Wanfa Sect was petty again and the spirit stones given were all inferior products produced in small workshops. The eldest sister was so angry that she stood at the gate of the mountain and sulked.
So the ground became like that.
Another group of people do not recognize this statement.
Because they firmly believed that Wei Wenxin was not the type of person who would suffer in silence.
Someone must have provoked her at that time, and she destroyed the Path of Inquiry in a rage, then left in anger. However, the Wanfa Sect was in the wrong and could not do anything to her.
Some people even spread rumors, saying that her heavenly fire was out of control and could leak out at any time and burn everyone in the city to death.
Then in the blink of an eye, someone spit on his head.
After all, how could the heavenly fire get out of control so accurately?
There are so many different things.
Wei Wenxin had been happily staying at home for more than 20 years. Except for the few days he went out, he had never even seen his master when he was at home, so he didn't know these things.
After coming down the mountain, she first entered Wanjian City. She planned to stay there for a while, eating, drinking and having fun, while also buying some newspapers and magazines to read, and then going to places like taverns and teahouses to find out some news from the outside world, to prevent herself from being isolated from the world for a long time and falling out of touch with the times.
I haven’t read three issues of the "Nine Sects and Eighteen Schools Scenery Records" which is published every ten years, and I have accumulated more than thirty copies of the "Qinghuan Chronicle".
These two publications are her favorites, and she will update them every time she goes down the mountain.
Wei Wenxin entered the city and first went to the sect's direct bookstore, bought all these things, and also packed up a bunch of recently popular storybooks, saying that he wanted to understand the preferences of young people today.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he simply took Ling Cang, who had transformed into a little boy, and randomly chose an old tavern to sit down.
After ordering the dishes and serving the wine, the man and the beast were whileing away the time with a plate of nuts when they saw an old man coming up to the platform in the middle of the patio on the first floor.
The old man was wearing a dark long robe, leaning on a crutch, with a hunched back. Looking closely, he was actually an old crow bird with an imperfect transformation.
The old crow bird's molting period has not yet ended, and there are still grayish-white hair ducts at the corners of its mouth. Before speaking, it must first lift up its little finger, extend its index finger and thumb, and twist the hair ducts a few times.
Wei Wenxin had never seen it before, but as soon as he heard it speak, he was fascinated by the story it told.
"Continuing from the last chapter, it says that the swordsman had a sword across the sky, and he fought his way in and out of the unknown sect seven times, and finally escaped. He stood at the gate of the mountain, pointing his sword to the sky! He was filled with grief and indignation! In the end, he only left a pair of footprints at the gate. This is what is meant by - 'If you are patient for a while, you will have peace in the sea; if you take a step back, you will have a bright future!'"
Compared to those elegant storytellers who speak in a lot of nonsense, this old gentleman is a gangster.
What is the Jianghu School?
The language is straightforward yet gripping, often making people feel excited.
At first, Wei Wenxin did not realize that this was a modified story with himself as the protagonist.
By the time she understood, half an hour had passed.
The food has been served and everyone is half full.
But the old crow pinched the hair tube at the corner of his mouth, with a mysterious look on his face: "Everyone, I believe you have received the news that the sword cultivator is going down the mountain. Do you want to know where she is going and what she is going to do?" There was a lot of booing around, but after hearing this, spirit stones fell like rain.
In recent years, the people in the area under the jurisdiction of the Wanjian Sect have become increasingly wealthy.
But seeing that layer after layer of spirit stones were thrown on the stage, all of them were collected by the old crow. Wei Wenxin wanted to get angry and jump down to beat it up, but suddenly he felt relieved.
Some creatures rely on their quick wits to make a living, so why make things difficult for them?
After all, she is the favorite topic of conversation among monks from all over the world after dinner.
There is cause and effect in this world. If others owe her something, there is no need to worry. The day will come when the reward will come.
The meal was tasteless. On the second day, when the old man was scheduled to tell stories, she couldn't control her curiosity and went to the tavern again.
Still the old seat.
We had new wine and new dishes, and they looked no different from the other diners.
It was rumored that she loved red clothes, but in fact, she was just too poor to have many sets of clothes, and since they were given to her by her master, she was too lazy to change.
It wasn't long since her master ascended to heaven, and she was afraid that she would be reminded of him by seeing his things. She had plenty of money, so her closet was already full.
She wore a grape purple dress yesterday and changed into a white dress today, even changing her hairstyle.
After more than twenty years of seclusion, her cultivation was close to the great perfection of the Nascent Soul, and Wei Wen's Heart-Confused Heart Technique was even closer. Most of the people walking in the city could not see through her face.
Therefore, even the waiter treated it as her first time and tried his best to introduce the restaurant's signature dishes to her.
Wei Wenxin just wanted to listen to the old man's nonsense, so he ordered a few dishes at random and sent him away.
Ling Cang was also not interested in eating. He bit the tip of his chopsticks, his eyes glued to the table.
When the old man came on stage, Wei Wenxin narrowed her eyes and secretly made up her mind that if this guy dared to make up rumors about her to deceive people for profit, she would tear him to pieces!
This is different from telling a story that distorts the facts.
"Everyone, I'm sure you're all tired of hearing about how the eldest sister came out of seclusion ten years ago and promised tens of millions of spirit stones to gamble with the elders. Do you know that just a few days ago, the eldest sister came out of seclusion for the second time and promised twenty million spirit stones to gamble with the elders again? Do you want to know the result?"
In the first gambling fight, Wei Wenxin was finally pulled out of the pigpen by a supreme elder. It was so funny that it is still a laughing stock among the monks in Wanjian City. No one expected that such a thing would happen again!
Suddenly, the spirit stones fell like raindrops.
These things were no secret, Wei Wenxin snorted and didn't care.
Lao Yaque told the story honestly, and the response from the crowd was lukewarm.
After all, there's nothing rare about it.
The Senior Sister is very powerful; this is something that the mid- and low-level cultivators have already recognized long ago; there is no suspense at all.
I think the reason why I failed the first time was that I had not yet mastered the skills.
"In this case, with the arrogance of the Mad Sword, I think you can guess where she will go next, right?"
Everyone else's curiosity was aroused, except Wei Wenxin, who looked confused.
"Crazy Sword? Ling Cang, who is it talking about? Me?"
Compared to this, she would rather be called "the most crazy person in the Wanjian Sect"!
Ling Cang quickly picked up the soup bowl, covered his face with it, and pretended to be absorbed in eating.
Don't talk while eating~
While Wei Wenxin has been in seclusion for so many years, it has been living freely in the Wanjian Sect. It is full of gossip and knows as much as these storytellers.
Forget it, it’s better not to provoke her.
I wonder if you remember this old crow? It was quite a coquettish old demon. Hahaha. I really like it so much that I let it appear again. If it wants to appear again next time, I will have to make up a great story for it.
