The sword is the devil

Chapter 69
When Hou Tiao came to the gate of Guanfu, there was no invitation card, and no greeting card...

Birthday greetings don’t necessarily require invitations, all the guests come to congratulate the birthday star; but it’s difficult to do without invitation cards, because you can’t even prove your identity, what if the enemy came to make trouble?
There was a stalemate for a while, Hou Tiao knew that with his identity, it was not good to be troublesome at the gate, causing crowds to watch, not only losing face for himself, but also for his master.

"I come from a faraway country, so it's hard to reveal my name and origin. I was entrusted by Guan Gong's old friend. It's no good for everyone to get entangled here; so, if you send a message to Guan Gong, just say that Wu Ze's old friend is here, He will understand."

The concierge doesn't dare to be too negligent. What is important in this line of work is sharp eyesight. You will cause trouble for the master at every turn, and even turn friends into enemies. How can the concierge last for a long time?
There are too many weird people in the practice world, and the unimaginable things are beyond the comprehension of mortals like them. His feeling is that there is no harm in asking more questions.

After being a little more polite, he entered the inner hall and returned in a short time, his face became much more respectful,

"The master invites you to enter the hall by yourself. There are many guests there, so you can't be idle for a while..."

Hou Tiao carried the little girl on her back and walked into the mansion. If it was just to send congratulatory gifts and put down the things, there is no need to enter this door; but Li Duwei meant that he wanted to present things with his own hands. There are two meanings.

Either the congratulatory gift is expensive, or it means that I am afraid I have to bring a reply letter?
The hall is grand and spacious, which does not seem to have anything to do with hermits, indicating that the owner may also be living in a humble room with a heart in the rivers and lakes; the banquet is not yet held, and the servants are still preparing, but the guests gather in groups and divide into countless small circles. His circle is undoubtedly today's master, Shouxing Laoer.

Waiting for a lowly person with a low status, he couldn't come forward for a while, so he could only sit down in a corner and wait to see if there was a chance to be alone.

Put down the bamboo basket, let the child come down and walk around, active; the child still didn't say a word, but her eyes betrayed her heart, and she couldn't help scanning the weird things in the hall, of course, There are a variety of melons and fruits on the table.

Waiting for a smile, there is still help, and casually summoned a servant, "Excuse me, can you prepare a small fruit plate for the child?"

This is the rule, of course it is not impossible to take it by yourself, but it will appear to be very rude and upbringing. Hou Niao is also an official, and the family education in this area has been integrated into his blood.

The waiter nodded with a smile, brought a tray, held the child's hand, and took whatever he liked, melons, fruits and pastries, and the trays were piled high...It really is the style of a mansion, and the behavior of the servants It can be seen.

The child sits on a small tray, holding a plate and eating with great joy; these days, although Hou Tiao has not treated her harshly, and always takes care of her wholeheartedly, how can he understand the needs of a child with his living habits? ?
He eats so much meat every day that he feels sick just looking at the meat, but he prefers these sweets that Hou Niao never cared about.

Hou Tiao sighed, how to arrange for this child needs to come up with a charter as soon as possible, and can't delay any longer;

In fact, along the way, passing through villages and small towns, he also has some opportunities to send the child out. At the age of four or five, the pink is very cute, and he doesn't worry about not leaving home; but he can't guarantee that the child's future will be good. He was wronged, and he could also see her resistance from the way the child grasped the hem of his robe.

Standing quietly in a corner of the hall, waiting for his chance, but as the only host of today's birthday banquet, there are more than a dozen people around Guan Gong at any time and anywhere, walking around and topping up...

Hou Tiao was waiting for the right time when a person quietly appeared beside him, and he didn't react at all to it. This was the crushing caused by the huge difference in realm, and there was no solution.

"Waiting for an opportunity to face alone?"

A familiar voice sounded in Hou Niao's ear, without any disturbance in her heart, she just secretly lamented the smallness of the world,

"Exactly, after leaving Yaohe, I hurried for half a year. I have a weak mind, but my realm is low, and I can't get into the eyes of the law. Waiting, I have seen Shangxiu."

Taoist Yao looked at him with a half-smile, but under the light veil, he couldn't see anything.

"Why do you want to go to the Quanzhen Sect of the State of Shan?" Daoren Yao went straight to the point. She didn't like to be polite, and after all, they were strangers to each other. Now she was just a little bit of a reminder as a senior practitioner.

Hou Tiao apologized slightly, "I originally wanted to join the Anhe Taoist sect, but Luohua wanted to be ruthless, so I had to settle for the next best thing."

Taoist Ai didn't let him go, "At your speed of practice, it's nothing more than a year and a half late, and you will naturally be able to fulfill your wish after cultivating Yuanjing. If it doesn't work, I can also give you some recommendations."

Hou Tiao wryly smiled, "The lowest level of Anhe Daomen is Peiyuan for casual cultivators, but it doesn't mean that you will be able to pass when you reach the Peiyuan realm. It also depends on your potential, age, qualifications, etc. At my age, it's embarrassing." up.

As for your recommendation, if it wasn't because I went to Shan country, how could I meet Shangxiu you? "

Taoist Yao caught the loophole in his words, "How can you be sure that the Anhe Taoist sect will not take you in? Did you offend the Taoist?"

Hou Tiao is actually very reluctant to bring up the past now, but this master is endless. She has a high level and is kind to him, so he can't shirk it.
"I am a survivor of Anhe's prayer last time, and I was rejected in front of Anhe's many spiritual masters... Therefore, practice does not wait for anyone, so I have to go to the Quanzhen of the Demon Gate..."

Taoist Ai frowned, if those senior brothers rejected him, it's no wonder he no longer has confidence in Anhe Taoism;
Among the high-level monks in Anhe Daomen, it is necessary to save face with each other. For example, I rejected a casual cultivator, but you accepted it. It is easy to create divisions and make troubles; everyone has status Humans, it is not worthwhile to do a mere minor repair. Most of the time, this casual repair is basically hopeless, which is also a fact.

No matter what kind of power, over time, there will always be one kind of stagnation, perfunctory, prevarication, and bloat in the structure... This is an unavoidable reality.

For a sect, it is far from fatal, like dust; but the dust of the times is a mountain that cannot be climbed for individuals.

She can also forcefully push the guy in front of her into the Taoist gate of Anhe, she has the right, and she doesn't care who she offends, but a cultivator would not do this.

Doing this is too blunt, and it may not be a good thing for the person in front of him. The Quanzhen Sect will remember him, and the Taoist sect will not fully trust him... It needs a natural process.

She is a person who loves talents, and she is a little dissatisfied with the current lifelessness in the Daomen. Now that she has reached this position, it is her responsibility to recruit a few outstanding talents for the Daomen. You can't tell the truth, you can only understand what can't be expressed in words.

Daomen has always paid little attention to these things, but Quanzhen Momen attaches great importance to it, which is why she is secretly worried about Anhe Daomen now.
