Chapter 990 The Yellow River flows into the sea

   The first time I stood under this city wall was when I was a child, and was carried by the master.

   The second time he stood under the city wall, he just came back from the Holy Land of Dayao Mountain. At that time, his diving career came to an end.

   The third time, this is it.

  Time is passing by.

  Many things are changing.

   But the city wall has not changed, and through memory, he seems to have returned to the year.

   It was supposed to be a cold city wall, but at this moment, in Xu Yishan's eyes, it was warm, and it was possible to stand like this with him for a long, long time.

   Xu Yishan will not come back before he reaches the threshold of promotion to the heavenly rank.

   This is actually the tacit understanding between the master and the apprentice.

   Therefore, over the years, Xu Yishan seldom even wrote letters to Master.

In fact, he really wanted to come here, go directly north along the Dongshan Mountains outside the county town, and then turn east to enter the Laoshan Mountains, two or three thousand kilometers, even if the mountains are more difficult to travel, it can definitely be reached in one day. .

And if his master wants to go to the county town, it is even simpler. Xu Yishan doesn't know how fast the master can go, but when he reaches the heaven level, he can "walk against the void", but he knows it. .

  Maybe Master left from the prefecture after breakfast, and he still had time to eat lunch at his place?

   Maybe earlier.

   But at such a short distance, master and apprentice hadn't seen each other for more than a hundred years, and only four letters were passed.

   is Xu Yishan's three letters to his master.

   Master replied.

   At this moment, in Wei Wei's emotion, Xu Yishan turned out to be a little timid about the nostalgia.

   I don’t know if the master’s cultivation has progressed, and have you seen the threshold of the second layer of heaven?

  I don't know his current situation, will Master be satisfied?

   It should be.

   There is no entry fee to enter Fucheng, but some of the small towns below will require some copper plates.

   With a slight emotion, Xu Yishan entered the city.

  The buildings in the city have also changed a lot. Compared with a hundred years ago, it can be regarded as a big change. Xu Yishan has walked all the way, and more than half of the shops in his memory no longer exist, and they have been replaced by new ones.

   However, the prefecture is in the shape of a cross, and the Nanzhou Office is in the center of the cross.

   went straight forward along the avenue, until a row of bluestones blocked the road in front, Xu Yishan turned into a side road, and then turned several times in a row, and came to a courtyard behind the state office.

   A small door in a partial courtyard, the door was closed.

  Xu Yishan was about to raise his hand to lock the door when the wooden door creaked open.

   And Xu Yishan froze there.

   After being stunned for a few breaths of time, the next moment, he directly bent his knees and knelt on the ground, "Master!"

   The one standing inside the door is also a young man, who seems to have some kind of resemblance to Xu Yishan in terms of temperament. Because of this, if an uninformed outsider sees it, they will definitely think that it is a pair of brothers.

   Who knows, this looks like a pair of young people in their twenties, one is the county governor, and the other is the state owner.

   Under the lord of the country, is the lord of the state.

   And the Lord of Nanzhou, who sits in Nanzhou with a heavenly rank, is completely a high match.

  Actually, all people in the Heavenly Rank are people who can be on an equal footing with any monarch in the world.

At this moment, the state lord looked at the young man kneeling in front of him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he smiled and said: "Get up, get up, stand up, let the teacher take a good look! "

   After a while, in this small courtyard, at a stone table, the master and the apprentice sat opposite each other.

  Xu Yishan sat cautiously and obediently, like a little friend who was a few years old and was afraid of life.

   Then he laughed and scolded the other side: "Stinky boy, sit for me a little more airy, it looks like it's going to be heavenly, who are you showing it to? It's not uncommon for you to act like a teacher!"

   "Master, this disciple has something to report when he comes back this time." Xu Yishan chuckled, and then said with a straight face.

"I know that you have something to report even if you don't say it." The young man opposite shook his head, "I know the talent of my disciple, that is indeed extraordinary, but your performance is not only extraordinary, but also extraordinary and holy, is there? Can the Holy Venerable enlighten you?"

   "Master, do you know?" Xu Yishan said in a daze.

   On the opposite side, he was even more stunned, and then he said: "What? Is there really a Holy Venerable coming to Nanzhou?"

   "Master, please listen to the disciple's report!" Seeing the Master's reaction, Xu Yishan did not delay any longer, but started to tell the story directly.

  The story begins with a little monk named Xu Tonghui stepping into the city of Annan.

   The young man on the opposite side has been listening quietly, without interrupting Xu Yishan's narration, and in the process of listening, his face has been constantly changing, obviously, his heart is not calm.

   It can even be said that it is extremely uneasy!

  Because of a heavenly rank, it is impossible to be moved casually and be moved like this!

   After Xu Yishan finished speaking, the other side was still silent, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, the opposite side said slowly: "Yishan, even if you don't come back this time, my teacher plans to send someone to send you a letter recently, asking you to come back, because I also have news to tell you. you."

  Xu Yishan didn't ask, just looked at the teacher.

   "You also know that Wei Shi has some relationship with the one in the imperial capital, and recently, Wei Shi got a piece of news."

   "It was originally expected that the competition for the Ascension Hall will start in about 80 years, and it will be confirmed in 20 years." The young man opposite said.

  Xu Yishan was greatly surprised, even shocked, "Master, why?"

"It is said that this was jointly decided by several saints. As for the specific reason, Master doesn't know." The young man shook his head, "Master thought you would definitely have no chance this time, and wanted you to come back just to tell you. , don't think too much, just practice meditation, and continue to wait for the next opportunity."

   "I didn't think of you here, and a big accident happened."

Xu Yishan pondered, but in fact, since he didn't know anything about the upper-level information, he didn't have anything to ask, so after a pause, he said: "Master, do you know who Annan's saint is? Honor?"

   Hearing this, the opposite side glared directly, "The one from Annan, that's also your master!"

  After a short pause, he said again: "Could it be that in the future, in front of that person, when you mentioned me, you also said that it was the 'the one from Nanzhou'?"

  Xu Yishan shrank his neck and said with an apologetic smile: "How dare this disciple! No matter if it's the Master or the Holy One, the disciple can't afford to offend him. Even though both of them are Masters, the disciple doesn't know what to call him for a while."

   "That's easy, call me teacher from now on, just call that master." The young man across from him said lightly.

   "Master!" Xu Yishan said as if he was wronged.

"Why, it's not worth your respect as a sage?" The young man opposite glared at Xu Yishan again, "You stinky brat doesn't know how much luck you have, it was your luck when I accepted you as a disciple. But why didn’t I know that even the Holy Venerable could look into your eyes?”

   "Of course, Master has a unique eye for wisdom. He saw my strengths at a glance back then." Xu Yishan scratched his head and said flatteringly.

   "That's not true!" The young man opposite shook his head:

   "I took one of the Xu family as a disciple because I had a good relationship with one of your Xu family ancestors, but he kicked his legs early because he failed to achieve the heavenly rank."

   "When I passed by your Xu family back then, on a whim, I had the idea of ​​accepting apprentices, and the first thing I saw was you playing at the door, so it was you."

  Xu Yishan was a little dumbfounded, "Master, is that the reason?"

   "Isn't the reason important?" There was a smile in the young man's eyes, "I just wanted to accept an apprentice, and you just happened to let me see, what is this? This is the way of luck."

   "It is both your destiny and your teacher's destiny."

   After a pause, the young man on the other side became serious and changed the subject:

   "The one from Annan, I don't know which saint is the teacher."

   "They exist like that, and they often go wherever they want to be. Even if they are in Nanzhou today, it is not surprising that they will suddenly go to Beizhou tomorrow."

"As for the reason for the one who accepted you as a disciple, no matter you or me, there is no need to make any senseless guesses, you only need to know that this is your luck and good fortune. Maybe in the future, as a teacher, you will still need to rely on you to pull up. A handful."

   "Master, that Xiao Ning Qi San..." Xu Yishan said.

   The young man on the opposite side stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing to say, "This matter is too important, don't tell me about it."

   But the next moment, Xu Yishan reached out and took out a wooden box from his arms.

   "Master, please rest assured, I will not tell you the formula of Xiao Ning Qi Powder without the instructions of the Holy Venerable and Master, and I will not configure Xiao Ning Qi Powder by myself under any circumstances."

  Xu Yishan said, after a pause, he lowered his head slightly and said:

   "But this small condensing qi powder is the disciple's own, and I want to dedicate it to you."
