Chapter 123 Two people who share the same suffering!
Wang Yuanjing's destination this time, Huodezong, is located in the province of Sichuan.
As a province with a large population, the alien forces in this land are also very large.
Huode Sect, Tang Sect, Daliangshan Witches, Qingcheng.
Even the Natural Gate, one of the four gates of the Seeking Truth Society, was originally located in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas. Later, it was moved to the Qinling Mountains due to a merger.
"Idol! Here!"
Looking at the little fire god jumping up and down and waving at him not far away, and the strange looks from the people around him.
Wang Yuanjing suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.
But after all, he was the one who offered to pay the visit, so he still went forward.
"How long have you been waiting here?"
"I came this morning."
The little Vulcan said generously.
Wang Yuanjing glanced at the sun that was gradually setting and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
This guy.
"Are you healed?"
The day after Hong Bin was eliminated from the competition, he was forced by his master to return to the sect, which is why he has not appeared in the subsequent competitions.
"Okay, it's done long ago!"
After saying this, Hong Bin patted his thigh vigorously, looking very proud.
Looking at the other party's actions, Wang Yuanjing hesitated to speak.
If he remembered correctly, the leg that Hong Bin photographed before didn't seem to be the original one?
Forget it, seeing that this guy is so lively, nothing seems to be wrong.
"I have already told Master that you were coming, and he has repeatedly told me to treat you well!"
Hong Bin said happily.
"Thank you very much."
Wang Yuanjing nodded slightly.
"Let's go, I'll take you, my idol, back to the sect first."
Hong Bin said as the two of them left the station and walked outside.
Later, when they were halfway, the two stopped, and Wang Yuanjing took a look at where they stopped.
"House of Fire"
Has Huode Sect’s business reached this point?
Wang Yuanjing was a little surprised when he saw the sign in front of him. He had heard from his colleagues around him that Huo De Zong's business was booming in recent years, and it seemed that this was true.
The founder of Huode Sect is known as the Ancestor of the God of Fire. Considering that the little God of Fire stayed here, it was not difficult for Wang Yuanjing to guess that this "Hall of the God of Fire" should be the property of Huode Sect.
"Idol, you've come all the way here, you probably haven't eaten yet, right?"
"I'll take you to have a meal first!"
After saying that, Hong Bin took Wang Yuanjing towards the gate of the "Fire God Hall".
After entering, Wang Yuanjing smelled a strong aroma of Chinese medicine. The decoration and furnishings in the "Fire God Hall" were similar to those in most Chinese medicine shops, including the cabinets for storing medicinal materials and the tables, chairs and benches, all of which were dark red in color, which was indeed in line with the style of the Huode Sect.
There were three or five staff members in the pharmacy, and Hong Bin walked straight towards one of them.
"Xiao Lin!"
The little Vulcan's signature loud voice immediately caught the attention of the staff in the hall.
"It's Senior Brother Hong! Why are you here?"
The girl called Xiaolin by Hong Bin was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin, watery eyes, and a pretty face, a typical appearance of a Sichuan or Chongqing girl.
"Where's Uncle Master?"
Hong Bin stood in front of the stage and asked with a smile.
"The hall is out of stock of the powerful pills, so my father went back to the clan to get some."
Xiao Lin spoke crisply, and from what she was called, this Miss Xiao Lin should be the daughter of an elder of the Huode Sect.
Power pills?
Hearing this term full of flaws, Wang Yuanjing's dormant memory suddenly awakened.
"By the way, Senior Brother Hong, why are you here suddenly?"
Xiaolin asked curiously.
The two are of similar age, so there are not so many twists and turns in their communication.
"I haven't eaten since I left home this morning. I'm thinking it'll take some time to get back to the sect, so I want you, Chef Lin, to show me some of your skills."
The little Vulcan said flatteringly.
Judging from his skilled appearance, he must have done similar things many times in the past.
The two grew up together, and Xiao Lin was no longer surprised by some of his senior's out-of-line actions.
"Is this your friend, Uncle Hong?"
She noticed Wang Yuanjing standing behind Hong Bin, who nodded slightly at her as a greeting.
So handsome! So tall!
Xiaolin praised
Needless to say, Wang Yuanjing's appearance is good. Both his parents have good genes, and with years of practice, he has an extraordinary temperament.
Coupled with his height, he stands out even more among the southerners where most people are short.
“This is my idol!”
Hongbin corrected.
"Idol?"
Xiao Lin was a little surprised, because she knew that although her senior brother seemed unreliable on the surface, he was actually very arrogant.
In the entire Huode Sect, only the leader of Huode Sect can control him.
"Of course, Xiaolin, remember to prepare more food. My idol and I will go in first."
After saying this, Hong Bin took Wang Yuanjing into the back hall.
The two sat at a round table, and Hong Bin poured him a cup of buckwheat water, a kind of tea often drunk by local people.
After Wang Yuanjing took it, he thanked him politely.
"That girl just now doesn't seem to be an alien."
"Did you see it?"
Hong Bin was not surprised. He raised the large teacup in his hand and took a big sip, then told Xiao Lin about it. Thanks to the relationship with the Chinese medicine hall under his sect, the Huode Sect was still prosperous.
The previous generation of the sect leader only accepted two disciples, namely Hong Bin’s master and Xiao Lin’s father.
These two people are equally talented and have both cultivated the Golden Fire of the Huode Sect. However, the former is much older than the latter, which is why he became the Sect Master of the Huode Sect.
"Xiao Lin did not inherit the cultivation aptitude of Master Uncle, and she couldn't even practice Qi refining. In order to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable in the sect, Master Uncle took her down the mountain a few years ago."
Hongbin said with a sigh.
He is just a little bit nervous, but he is not stupid, otherwise he would not have been accepted as a disciple by the leader of the Huode Sect.
Not being able to refine Qi means that she cannot become an extraordinary person. She would feel uncomfortable staying in the Huode Sect where everyone is an extraordinary person. That is why her father wanted to take her down the mountain.
Wang Yuanjing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt the strange bitterness lingering in his mouth.
He could empathize with the girl's situation.
My predecessor had a similar experience, with an equally outstanding father and the same lack of qualifications for refining Qi. The other person was simply a replica of myself.
In fact, situations like that of the predecessor and Xiaolin are not uncommon among the major alien forces.
Having a child is like opening a blind box.
A pair of excellent alien couples may not necessarily have children who become aliens themselves.
Ordinary couples may also give birth to geniuses. The closest example to Wang Yuanjing is Taoist Wang Ye.
This is also the reason why there are so few aliens in the world.
Fortunately, this Miss Xiaolin looks pretty good and does not live a life as bitter and vengeful as her predecessor.
"coming."
Hong Bin's nose twitched slightly, as if he smelled something, and turned his head away.
The next second, Miss Xiaolin came over with a large basin of something red.
Wang Yuanjing sniffed.
“Is this aconite?”
he asked with some uncertainty.
"Amazing! As expected of an idol, he can even smell that!"
Hongbin gave a thumbs up.
It is worthy of being the Taoist tradition passed down by the ancestor of the God of Fire.
Wang Yuanjing thought secretly in his heart.
He had heard from Liu Xingyang that Huode Zong was best at using the Chinese medicinal herb aconite, but he didn't expect that it would even be added to the hot pot, which could be regarded as promoting this medicinal herb.
Aconite tastes pungent and sweet, and is very hot in nature.
It enters the heart, kidney and spleen meridians.
It has the functions of restoring yang, replenishing fire and assisting yang, dispelling cold and relieving pain. In a sense, as long as the dosage is appropriate, it is not out of place to serve as a base flavor in the hot pot.
"Try it quickly. This is the secret soup base of our Huode Sect. You can't buy it anywhere else."
Xiao Lin went to cut some more ingredients, and Wang Yuanjing and Hong Bin started to cook in the pot.
Wang Yuanjing didn't expect that his first meal in Sichuan would be a health-preserving hotpot.
By the time the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already dark.
"belch!"
Hong Bin burped, touched his stomach, and looked very satisfied.
"Is Master Uncle not back yet?"
Xiao Lin happened to walk in, and Hong Bin asked.
"He shouldn't be back so soon."
Kobayashi replied.
After all, he is the elder of the Huode Sect. Even though he has taken over some secular businesses outside because of his daughter, there are still some things in the sect that cannot do without him.
So it's not uncommon to run both ways like this
Kobayashi also understands his father quite well.
Hong Bin nodded and said to Wang Yuanjing.
"It's getting late, idol, why don't you come back to the sect with me."
Wang Yuanjing has no objection.
So the two said goodbye to Xiaolin and left the "Fire God Hall".
As soon as they went out, Hong Bin hailed a taxi, and the two got in the car and rushed towards their destination.
"Let's go."
After getting off the car, the two headed towards the mountain.
Like many other sects, the Huode Sect's headquarters was also built in a mountain, located halfway up the mountain.
Not long after going up the mountain, Wang Yuanjing saw several bright red figures, dressed exactly like Feng Ping, one of the thirty-six thieves in the plot.
"Master, uncle-master!"
Following Hong Bin's gaze, Wang Yuanjing saw two standing figures.
The leader and elders of the Huode Sect were here to welcome me.
"How could it take so long?"
The leader of the Huode Sect is an old man who looks energetic and should be in his sixties. With his hair standing up and a red robe, he looks like a ball of fire in the dark night.
In comparison, the middle-aged man next to him seemed much more reserved. He must be the uncle-master that Hong Bin mentioned.
After the conversation
Wang Yuanjing then realized that the leader of the Huode Sect had already informed Hong Bin in advance, and the little Fire God actually took him to the "Fire God Hall" for a meal.
"Wang Yuanjing, nice to meet you two."
He bowed to the two of them.
After hearing the two people's experience, the leader of the Huode Sect first glared at Hong Bin fiercely, and the latter smiled guiltily.
"I am honored to receive your presence, my distinguished guest!"
