The old man in sackcloth

The old man in sackcloth

Aug 23, 2024

After the young man left, Chen Wenxuan, who had fallen into a coma, finally woke up. He lay on the ground, shook his still confused head, and slowly sat up. However, when his timid eyes met the cold eyes of the young man not far away, he trembled all over and couldn't help shuddering.

He quickly lowered his head.

At this time, Hua Wuyan had left, and the many disciples who were watching had also dispersed. Xiao Han walked over slowly and looked up and down at the fat young man who was sitting on the ground with his head down and trembling. His eyes were a little complicated, but he didn't say anything and turned around and left.

After leaving, Xiao Han suddenly remembered that when he registered for entry at the "Jingyou Pavilion" yesterday, the old man told him to go to a place called "Qinglan Hall" before noon today to collect the corresponding items.

Xiao Han looked up at the sun in the sky and roughly estimated that it seemed that it was not long before noon. He had just arrived at the sect and was unfamiliar with the place. Moreover, the Sanqing sect was so large that he didn't even know where the "Qinglan Hall" was. It would probably take a lot of effort to find it.

Xiao Han didn't dare to hesitate and quickly asked people.

However, he underestimated the indifference among the Sanqing fellows. He asked several waves of people in succession, but no one was willing to pay attention to him. Those with lower cultivation than him were afraid of him, and those with higher cultivation than him despised him... It took him more than half an hour to find a direction and ask for directions.

Finally, he learned from a disciple named Wang Tiesheng that, in fact, the "Qinglan Hall" was near the "Jingyou Pavilion", less than a mile away, and the kind-hearted Wang Tiesheng also reminded him that the old man guarding the "Qinglan Hall" was called Lu Li, and the disciples all respectfully called him Lu Lao. This person had an extremely strange personality and his temper was sometimes good and sometimes bad, so he was told to be careful and never offend him.

After Xiao Han thanked Wang Tiesheng, he hurried to the "Jingyou Pavilion" because the sun was getting higher and higher, and it was getting closer to noon. He didn't know if the strange old man named Lu Li would give him the items distributed by the sect if he missed noon.

Fortunately, he had just walked the road to the "Jingyou Pavilion" yesterday, and Chen Wenxuan took him along the way, stopping and starting, and he remembered many scenes vividly, so he was particularly smooth on the road.

After a while...

Xiao Han arrived at the "Jingyou Pavilion". He stood at the door and glanced inside. As expected, the old man was sleeping on the table. His snoring was so loud that he felt it was a bit noisy when he stood outside.

However, Xiao Han only took a look and hurried to find the "Qinglan Hall" to receive the items. After all, time was tight and the sun was already blazing.

However, he searched all around the "Jingyou Pavilion". Not to mention the "Qinglan Hall" one mile away, within a radius of three miles, except for this inconspicuous "Jingyou Pavilion", there were no other pavilions or palaces, not even a thatched hut that could hide people.

At first, Xiao Han had some doubts, whether the enthusiastic Wang Tiesheng was deliberately playing tricks on him, but after calming down and thinking carefully, this possibility was very small. Not to mention that Wang Tiesheng looked honest and simple, not like the cunning person who liked to play tricks on people. Even if Wang Tiesheng really wanted to play tricks on him, there was no need to remind him that the old man guarding the "Qinglan Palace" had a strange personality and told him to be careful.

"But... there is really no "Qinglan Palace" near this "Jingyou Pavilion"! What went wrong?" Xiao Han thought to himself.

Seeing that noon was about to pass, Xiao Han was sweating profusely, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but there were few people walking around the "Jingyou Pavilion", and he couldn't find anyone to ask.

The scope was expanded to a radius of five miles, and Xiao Han searched for more than half an hour, but still found nothing. In the end, he could only walk back to the "Jingyou Pavilion" dejectedly.

On the way back, when almost reaching the "Jingyou Pavilion"...

Suddenly, a mountain in front of him caught Xiao Han's attention. He wondered if he was too stereotyped. No one stipulated that the "Qinglan Hall" must be a pavilion or a palace! It can also be in a mountain cave!

With this thought, Xiao Han slapped his head hard and quickly went around to the front of the mountain.

Sure enough, in the middle of the mountain wall in front of him, there were three golden characters "Qinglan Hall".

"Fuck!"

Xiao Han's face was gloomy, and he cursed out of frustration.

Now, the "Qinglan Hall" was finally found, but standing far away at the entrance of the hall, Xiao Han's heart began to beat again.

After all, it has been more than an hour since noon. Not to mention whether the old man surnamed Lu with a strange personality in the hall will give him the item, he is more afraid that he will offend this weird man for no reason because he did not come on time.

Standing outside the hall, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Han finally decided to touch the brow of this strange old man. After all, if he wants to stay in the sect, the items distributed by the sect will be a must in the future.

"Huh!"

After taking a long breath, Xiao Han bent down deeply and bowed his hands. Although there was a thick stone door between them, he still looked very respectful. After doing this, he said respectfully: "New disciple Xiao Han, meet Senior Lu."

For a long time, there was no movement.

So Xiao Han raised his voice again and shouted again, but there was still no movement.

After shouting three times in a row, it was still the same. At the moment, apart from being able to vaguely hear its own echo and the snoring of the person in "Jingyou Pavilion", there were only some insects and birds chirping.

Everything can be done again and again, but after three times, it is not very meaningful. It seems that I have missed the time, and this old man surnamed Lu will never like me.

Xiao Han sighed, turned around and left. The things distributed by the sect can only be discussed later.

However, Xiao Han had just taken a few steps when he heard behind him...

"Hula!" With a sound, the stone door that had not been opened for a long time actually opened!

"Huh?" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, surprised and happy, and hurried to the door of "Qinglan Hall

", but he stopped at the door and hesitated for a while before walking into the hall.

The hall was spacious and bright, just like the outside. Xiao Han was surprised by what was lighting it, or what tricks were used.

However, Xiao Han took a casual look at the bright and spacious hall, but he was a little upset, because the specific situation in the hall gave him the only feeling of "chaos".

Various miscellaneous things were placed everywhere, and these things were placed in a mess, which made people anxious.

Some of these items were clothes, and some were various weapons. Most of the weapons were sharp swords of different shapes. After all, the Sanqing Sect was also known as the Sanqing Sword Sect, which was mainly swords. However, judging from the fluctuations of the Yuanli on those weapons, they were actually some well-made magic tools.

In addition to these things, Xiao Han also noticed that in a corner of the hall, there was a pile of hammers, shovels, machetes and other daily tools. They also fluctuated with traces of Yuan Qi. Obviously, these were also refined into things like magic tools, which really opened his eyes.

At the end of the hall, there was a large rectangular wooden table. In front of the table with his back to the door sat an old man with disheveled hair. The old man was thin and dressed in coarse linen. He had been lying on the wooden table. He ignored Xiao Han who entered the hall, but was very focused on drawing something on a huge talisman paper with a talisman pen that exuded Yuan Qi.

Xiao Han frowned slightly, but immediately recovered. He walked forward slowly, stopped ten feet away from the old man in hemp clothes, bent down, bowed to the old man, and said: "New disciple Xiao Han, meet Lu..."

"The things you want are all at the entrance of the hall. The list on the wall is written. Find them yourself according to it!" Xiao Han was interrupted by the old man before he finished speaking.

"Yes."

Xiao Han responded, and suddenly felt secretly happy in his heart. It seems that the old man is in a good mood today. He missed the time, and the old man not only opened the door for him, but also did not mean to embarrass him.

He hurried back to the entrance of the hall. Sure enough, he found the list on the wall at the entrance. It was written on it: a light blue and green robe, a Qingfeng sword, a Qingfeng sword technique, a set of daily refining tools, and a low-level Qiankun bag.

Xiao Han silently recited the items on the list in his mind, and then began to search in the hall. Although the hall was messy, there were relatively many of these things, so he did not spend much effort to find all the things.

Holding a pile of objects that exuded Yuanli, Xiao Han was a little excited for a while, and couldn't help but sighed in a low voice: "Dongling is indeed worthy of being the holy land of cultivation for the human race!"

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Han said this, the old man in hemp clothes who had been painting with his head down suddenly raised his head, glanced at him, and asked: "Aren't you from Dongling?"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the old man would take the initiative to ask him questions, but he immediately reacted and replied: "Yes, I come from an inconspicuous little place."

"Inconspicuous little place..."

The old man in hemp clothes repeated Xiao Han's words, muttering to himself, and a trace of sadness suddenly rose in his turbid old eyes, and his expression was a little dull, as if he was recalling something.

After a while, the old man in sackcloth came to his senses, put down the talisman pen in his hand, and turned around.

"Haha, little guy, you don't have to hold so many things in your arms, just put them in the Qiankun bag!" As soon as the old man in sackcloth turned around, he saw Xiao Han holding a pile of things, standing opposite him stupidly, looking silly, and couldn't help laughing and reminding him.

After hearing what the old man in sackcloth said, Xiao Han realized it belatedly and put the pile of things in his arms on the ground of the hall, and found a gray cloth bag from it.

"Is this the Qiankun bag that the old man in sackcloth said?" Xiao Han was a little confused, after all, he had never seen such a thing.

He picked up the cloth bag that was only slightly larger than the palm of his hand, opened the bag and looked at the space that was only enough to fit a fist, and then looked at the pile of swords and knives on the ground that were extremely large in comparison. For a moment, he was a little at a loss, not knowing how to put them into the bag.

"Haha, I forgot. You just said that you are from a small place and not from Dongling. You must have never seen a Qiankun bag. Come, let me show you!" The old man in hemp clothes was very kind. After seeing Xiao Han's confusion, he directly reached out to take the bag.

"It's actually very simple. Just aim the opening of the Qiankun bag at the item you want to put in, and then inject a trace of Yuanli into the bag. Lock the item you want to put in, and the item will be automatically sucked in." The old man in hemp clothes said while demonstrating it to Xiao Han in person.

He saw him turn the bag down, and a light yellow light flashed slightly in his hand. As a result, a white light was ejected from the Qiankun bag, covering all the items on the ground. Those items immediately shrank rapidly in the white light. When they were small enough, they were sucked into the Qiankun bag with a "whoosh", leaving Xiao Han standing aside stunned!

"It's the same if you want to take out the items inside. You just need to use your energy to lock the items you want to take out in advance." The old man in sackcloth said, and returned the Qiankun bag in his hand to Xiao Han.

"But there are a few taboos when using this Qiankun bag. You must remember it, little guy!" The old man in sackcloth walked to the square wooden table, sat down, and waved to Xiao Han, motioning him to sit down as well, and said solemnly.

Xiao Han nodded repeatedly when he heard it, and looked at the old man in sackcloth with a hint of gratitude.
