This place is fun

Chapter 20 Getting Started
"A bright moon rises over the sea," Fan Caiyi looked down with an indifferent expression, but the next second, her eyes suddenly flashed, "We are all at the same time."

She muttered to herself twice, and her breathing became disordered.

Su Daoshan seemed to be writing poetry seriously, but actually his senses were focused on the girl beside him. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Isn't it just that the original brother was showing off, and the debt has come to me. In this case, let me show you what a Mid-Autumn Festival poem is. This is a famous Mid-Autumn Festival poem through the ages. I will use it to hit you in the face and say that your patchwork is tasteless and you dare not be happy?
After finishing writing in a moment, Su Daoshan looked up and was about to speak when the paper on the small table in the car was pulled away by Fan Caiyi.

Fan Caiyi reads carefully: "The moon is bright over the sea, and the world is sharing this moment. Lovers complain about the long night, and miss each other all night long. They put out the candles and feel pity for the full light, and feel the dew on their clothes when they put on their clothes. They cannot bear to give it to others, so they go back to sleep and dream of the good times."

This happened several times, her eyes flashing with a strange light, and her expression became extremely complicated.

Recalling the doubts last night, she knew that this guy was not a dull-witted, clumsy-minded nerd. The reason was simple—not only could he see herself and Tu Sen, he also broke free of his illusion and even stabbed Tu Sen's weakness with a sword!
To do all this, one must have extraordinary insight. This kind of talent, which is unique to the literary root, requires understanding and talent. If one is not extremely talented and knowledgeable, it is impossible to have such a vision.

He can pretend to be a nerd, but he can't fake his vision!
What's more, he was just lending his Tao Seed to him, and it was integrated by this guy in just a few hours.

As for the stage of establishing the Dao Heart, other Dao seeds are easy to come by, but the Literary Dao seed is the most difficult.

The test for scholars of the Way of Literature is not only to have a heart, but also to have an intention and a statement. If one does not have a profound artistic conception and a voice that awakens the deaf, one will not be recognized by the Way of Heaven. Throughout the ages, countless talented scholars have failed at this test. But this guy passed it after he said it.

Because of this, Fan Caiyi had an idea and took this opportunity to force him to write a poem. Firstly, he wanted to confirm his own judgment. Secondly, it was for the sake of his teacher Pu Dongge.

To fight back against those opponents who criticize the teacher, what better weapon could there be than a good poem written by "Yishan Su Er", whom they are ashamed to be compared with?
Even so, Fan Caiyi still didn't expect that this guy could write such a beautiful poem. "The bright moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment across the world" is a sentence that is profound and meaningful, and is worthy of being passed down through the ages. The poem uses the bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival to express the love, which is even more tactful and touching, and touches the heartstrings.

Fan Caiyi could fully imagine how great a shock this poem would cause once it became known.

How many people who claim to be talented will be speechless and feel ashamed!
But rather...

Fan Caiyi lowered his head to glance at Su Daoshan. This guy was looking at him eagerly, with a humble and flattering look on his face, kneeling straight!

"..."

With a complicated expression, Fan Caiyi put the poem away and put it in his arms. He then quickly put away the sword and made up his mind.

Su Daoshan stood up, rubbed his knees, and sat down in front of Fan Caiyi. He knew that he had passed this level. However, the other party came to him for more than just a threat or forcing him to write a poem. The real purpose had not yet been revealed.

Fan Caiyi hesitated for a moment, then asked directly, "Have you merged the Dao Seed?"

"Yes." Su Daoshan nodded frankly.

Since the Dao Seed was injected into my body by someone else, and he took the initiative to come to me and ask me this question today, there is no point in hiding it or pretending to be confused.

"You are so honest and polite." Fan Caiyi gritted her teeth.

"I was in a daze last night," Su Daoshan said, "I thought it was a dream. After I woke up and thought about it, I realized that this was the gift that the fairy had lent me at the time."

He looked ashamed: "Really..."

"Try to demonstrate it to me again!" Fan Caiyi grasped the hilt of the sword again.

Su Daoshan immediately fell silent. To be honest, the reason he tried to fuse the Dao Seed last night was mostly to take revenge on this woman. If he pretended to be heartbroken now, he might accidentally appear to be gloating.

"Since you have already merged with the Dao Seed, I have nothing more to say." Fan Caiyi snorted heavily and said, "Now that things have come to this, I can only say that it is God's will. However... I can't get the things back, so we still have to settle the accounts that should be settled."

Su Daoshan laughed dryly, not surprised at all. Needless to say, the Dao Seed was precious. He was able to fuse it, but he was just taking advantage of something that was temporarily in his hands.

This is already a huge bargain. If I were to say that I could get the Dao Seed for free, let alone whether I would feel embarrassed or not, you can tell with your toes that this is impossible.

People were fighting over this thing yesterday.

Even at the last moment, Fan Caiyi was unwilling to let Tu Sen take it away.

"I'll give you two choices," Fan Caiyi said coldly, "First, I'll kill you. Then we'll be even. Second, I've reported this to the sect. The sect has sent a message saying that if you join Han Valley, you can be their personal disciple."

Su Daoshan was speechless, and couldn't believe his ears. Of course, he would not take Fan Caiyi's first choice seriously. But he didn't expect that the other party would give such a second choice.

That's Hangu! One of the three strongest sects in Xiazhou! Whether in terms of strength, status or reputation, it is far superior to ordinary sects!
Let me put it this way, every one of the sects that gathered in Yishan City for this county examination is a younger brother in front of Han Gu!
The sphere of influence of these sects is limited to the three cities of Yishan, Huoniu, and Xise in Xiabei County. However, Hangu is above the four counties of Xiabei, Xianan, Xiadong, and Xiaxi!
Whether it was the Qiling Sect or the Mohu Sword Sect, although they were superior to ordinary people, to enter, one only needed to pass the county examination. But to enter the Cold Valley, ordinary warriors were not qualified at all. Only the most outstanding and most potential disciples from the major sects could participate in the state examination and compete for the mere three or five places.

The county examination is held once a year, but the state examination is held once every three years!
As far as Su Daoshan knew, his elder brother Su Daoyu was now the direct disciple of the head of the Mohu Sword School. To make further progress, he also needed to pass the state examination. But now that he had blackmailed someone else's Dao Seed, the price he paid was to be forced to rise to the top in one step?
After a moment of surprise, Su Daoshan quickly understood and realized that this should be the treatment that one would get after becoming an extraordinary warrior.

There is no doubt that extraordinary warriors are mysterious.

However, no matter how mysterious they are, as long as they are human, they cannot be separated from society. This is true for an individual or a group of people.

Old man Marx once said that the essence of man is the sum of all social relations.

No matter if it is human ability or wisdom, it can only play a role and create value among people. If it is separated from society, no one knows it, then even if this person has the ability to reach the sky, in essence, he is no different from a piece of stone.

Therefore, even though Su Daoshan’s understanding of this world is not deep enough, he knows that this mysterious group of extraordinary warriors must be at a certain level of this social system.

Ordinary people don't know, what about the royal families of various countries, Fengyuan Palace, and the sects? Even if ordinary lower-level members don't know, what about the top of these institutions and organizations?

Even the demons and alien species have extraordinary warriors. Will these people holding the scepters allow such a powerful mysterious force to escape from their control?

That is of course impossible.

Thinking this way, it was only natural for Hangu to accept him as a disciple. Dao seeds would eventually be integrated with others, so losing one Dao seed but gaining a disciple with a clean family background was not a loss.

As for why Fan Caiyi gave him the qualification of a direct disciple right after he opened his mouth - it was obvious that even in the Cold Valley, extraordinary warriors were not known and contacted by just anyone. At least the circle of the head, elders and direct disciples of these people was required.

"I choose the second path." Su Daoshan said without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Daoshan saw Fan Caiyi open a scroll with his left hand and hang the portrait on the roof of the carriage. Then he took out an incense burner with his right hand, placed it on the small table, took out three incense sticks and handed them over: "This is the portrait of the founder of Hangu. Bow three times and kowtow nine times, and take the oath to enter the sect."

Su Daoshan took the incense and felt a little confused for a moment.

Obviously Fan Caiyi came prepared. But this was too hasty. As a direct disciple, shouldn't he announce it to the world, open the gates of the mountain, invite all the wise men to a banquet, and have thousands of people watch the ceremony? Why did it feel like a private marriage, done secretly in a carriage?

Moreover, I don’t even know who to choose as my master.

"Hurry up." Fan Caiyi said coldly.

So Su Daoshan knelt down again, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times respectfully, and after repeating the sect rules with Fan Caiyi and taking an oath, he took the waist badge she handed over.

"Drop a drop of blood on it." Fan Caiyi said.

Su Daoshan checked the waist badge. It was about half the size of a cigarette box, made of white jade, snow-white and crystal clear. There was a snowflake engraved on it, and under the snowflake, four small characters in seal script were engraved.

Han Gu, taught personally.

He used his internal energy to force a drop of blood from his finger and drip it onto the jade token. The blood instantly spread out and turned into extremely fine blood threads, which merged into the jade token and disappeared immediately.

"Okay, from now on, you are Han Gu's direct disciple," Fan Caiyi motioned Su Daoshan to stand up, saluted and said, "Junior Brother Su."

This call of "Junior Brother" is really emotionless... Su Daoshan complained in his heart, put on a smile, and happily bowed: "Senior Sister Fan."

With this address, I suddenly felt that my identity was different. Han Gu's personal disciple, if this gets out...

While Su Daoshan was still thinking about this, Fan Caiyi took the portrait of the founder and the incense burner and said calmly, "However, today I am only accepting you as a disciple on behalf of the sect. You will become my disciple in the future and then we will have a formal ceremony. In addition, today's events must not be publicized..."

Hearing this, Su Daoshan was stunned.

The reason why he agreed so readily before, besides knowing that he couldn't escape it, was also because joining Han Valley would bring great benefits to both himself and the entire Su Family Castle.

But he didn't expect that after he got the door, he would have to do it secretly...
