The Swordsman who started from Baicaotang

Purple air.

A kind of energy of heaven and earth, different from spiritual energy, it is very gentle and can warm the body.

An unexpected surprise.

After another hour, the sky became completely clear. The yellow wind refined the purple air completely. His mind became clear and he couldn't help but let out a long roar from a high place.

"Whoo~"

With a long roar, the sound echoed throughout the mountains and plains, and all the turbid air in the body was cleared away. The whole person felt very comfortable, and felt clear inside and out.

It's time to go back.

With a thought, the yellow wind turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated on the spot, disappearing without a trace.

Jiminzhai.

There were three people standing at the door, two of them looked familiar. Huang Feng had seen them once before.

The village chief of Jinshui Village and Chen Hou's sister.

There was a teenager next to the two men, who looked strong and sturdy. He was somewhat similar to the village chief of Jinshui Village, and the two might be related by blood.

What's going on?

Could it be that Chen Hou’s mother’s illness has not been cured?

That's impossible, the herbs must be right.

At this time, Cui Meng came out, clasped his fists and asked, "What's the important matter, three of you?"

There are also 30 or 40 miles of mountain road between Jinshui Village and Qingshan City. The three of them came here early in the morning, so they must have started their journey at dawn. There must be something important to discuss, otherwise who would come here so early in the morning, just because they are full?

Hearing this, the head of Jinshui Village pulled the young boy beside him and bowed respectfully: "Master Cui, I am Chen Dazhuang, and this is my eldest son: Chen Hu. He is smart, intelligent, and has a good physique. Please take him in."

After looking him up and down, Cui Meng nodded slightly. Chen Hu was indeed a good guy, very strong, and his physique was also above average.

Ordinary people who enter Baicaotang are, to put it bluntly, cannon fodder. Even so, they need to be carefully selected. Baicaotang's money is not blown by the wind, and it costs a lot of money to train these people.

People with strong bones spend relatively less money, and their path to martial arts is much smoother. If there are some opportunities, they may be able to enter the third level of true Qi.

Huang Feng heard Chen Dazhuang's words clearly. It turned out that it was not about Chen Hou's mother, so he must have come here to fight for a better future.

Call ~

Before Cui Meng could speak, a puff of green smoke came and Huang Feng appeared in front of everyone.

"Zhai Master!"

Cui Meng bowed respectfully and continued,

"Chen Dazhuang brought his son here. He wants to join Baicaotang. What do you think, Master?"

Tsk.

Cui Meng is such a kind-hearted person. It was clearly Chen Dazhuang who asked his son to be a slave of Baicao Tang, but in Cui Meng's mouth it became "joining" Baicao Tang.

The difference of one word makes a huge difference.

A slave and an apprentice, the two identities are very different.

The slaves signed their names and sealed their contracts; their slave status was in the hands of Baicaotang, and their lives and deaths were controlled by Baicaotang.

The life and death of the slaves was just a word from Baicaotang. Of course, Baicaotang had never done such a thing. Compared with other forces, Baicaotang was pretty good.

Apprentices are different, they don't have to sign anything, and they don't have slavery. They are free people, they can come and go as they please, and no one can restrict them.

Huang Feng never cared about such things, and for Cui Meng's sake, he would not ask about it.

"Take it!"

He said casually, and then asked: "Little girl, how is your mother's health? Can she recover?"

If Chen Hou's mother didn't recover, it would be troublesome. Ordinary medicines would have no effect. With Huang Feng's current cultivation, he could still remove the coldness that had penetrated deep into his bones if he exerted his full strength.

However, there were some problems, so Huang Feng had to make the trip. As for the consumption of his true energy, it would be restored after some time, so it was no big deal.

Hearing this, Chen Dazhuang quickly replied: "Thank you for your help, my Lord. Gui Niang is now safe. We came here today to repay you."

"Gui Niang asked Xiaoyi to come over and serve tea and water to you. We country folk really don't have any precious treasures, so Gui Niang can only do this. Please take her in."

Huang Feng was a big shot in Baicaotang, and such a person certainly had no shortage of money or treasures. After much deliberation, Gui Niang could only give her daughter to him.

This idea was thought up by Chen Dazhuang. Huang Feng was working so hard for an ordinary woman, and he was obviously a kind-hearted person. Besides, he didn't look very old. It wasn't wronged for Chen Yi to stay with him.

Oh?

Chen Hou's mother recovered, which was a relief for Huang Feng. Chen Hou had passed away, and the family was without a pillar, so the life of the mother and daughter was indeed difficult.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Feng replied, "Old Cui should take them all. Also, ask Chen Hou's mother to come to Jiminzhai, as we are short of people to do laundry and cook."

Jiminzhai definitely has no shortage of people to do laundry and cooking, but when Huang Feng said that they are short of manpower, then there is definitely a shortage of manpower. No one in Jiminzhai will disobey his orders.

After saying that, Huang Feng walked into the gate and left the rest to Cui Meng, who didn't need to worry about it.

"Thank you, Master Huang, and thank you, Master Cui."

After hearing this, Chen Dazhuang pulled the two children to kneel down immediately, but was stopped by Cui Meng.

"No need to be so polite! No need to be so polite!"

"You will stay in Jiminzhai from now on. Take care of your health and I will teach you martial arts. Jiminzhai has many rules, so you must not violate them. Especially, do not anger the master of the Zhai. Remember! Remember!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dazhuang immediately replied: "Don't worry, Master Cui, we country folk are honest and will definitely not violate the rules of Jiminzhai."

"If my son Chen Hu has bad intentions, Lord Cui, feel free to kill him. I will have no complaints!"

"That's too much! That's too much!" Cui Meng laughed.

"We in Baicaotang will not cause any loss of life. Even if it is a heinous crime, we will only expel the person from Baicaotang and will never kill him."

"But guarding is also somewhat dangerous. He might even lose his life. Are you really willing to send your son to Baicao Hall?"

The most difficult thing in the world is for the elderly to send off the young. Chen Dazhuang witnessed the incident with his own eyes. Cui Meng still confirmed again and again, hoping that he could accept this result. If that day really came, he would not blame Baicaotang.

"Master Cui, our ancestors have been country folk for generations. Even if we work hard every day, it is difficult to make a living. If there is a famine, we will starve to death."

"People will eventually die. If we want to live a good life, we have to fight for it. Chen Hu really lost his life. It was because he was unlucky and didn't have this blessing. I, Chen Dazhuang, will never blame anyone."

Ok.

Cui Meng felt the same way. If he hadn't entered Baicaotang, he would have starved to death. To put it bluntly, Baicaotang gave him a chance to survive, and he would work hard for Baicaotang all his life.

Even if he was cut into pieces, he would have no regrets!

After thinking for a moment, Cui Meng replied, "There are slaves and apprentices in Baicaotang. Slaves have to sign and seal their identities, and their lives and deaths are controlled by Baicaotang. Apprentices are different. They can come and go freely, and no one will interfere with their freedom."

"But there is one thing. Being a slave for Baicaotang will earn you some money. Apprentices don't get any money. Only after passing the assessment will you get a monthly salary."

"Which one will your son and this little girl choose?"

"It's all up to Master Cui!"

Chen Daniu had no idea what was going on, but he trusted Cui Meng and Huang Feng, so he handed his son over to them.

Ok?

Hearing this, Cui Meng looked him up and down and thought that he should not be in urgent need of money, so he might as well just become his apprentice.

"Then be my apprentice!"

After saying this, Cui Meng took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.

Chen Dazhuang quickly declined the offer, "Thank you very much, Master Cui, for taking my son in as an apprentice. I, Chen Dazhuang, will never accept money again."

"Ha ha……"

Cui Meng smiled and said, "This money is for you to help run a trip and pick up Chen Hou's mother. I don't have time right now, so I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's a small matter! It's a small matter!"

Chen Dazhuang patted his chest and said loudly, "I'll go get Gui Niang right away."

After saying this, Chen Dazhuang left immediately. His movements were extremely fast and he disappeared at the end of the long street in the blink of an eye.

Tsk.

So fast?
