System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

It was the message from Su Zijin, asking Shen Xia to go to the 23rd peak now. Peak 23 is the mountain where Shen Xia met Su Zijin before.

After saying goodbye to Luofi Zi, Shen Xia didn't dare to delay and teleported directly to Peak 23. When he arrived at the foot of Peak 23, he remembered that Su Zijin didn't meet specifically where, but there was no reply to the message he just sent to Su Zijin, so Shen Xia had no choice but to walk up the mountain road.

It was summer at this time, and Shen Xia could see that the trees on both sides of the hiking trail had been carefully taken care of. They were pruned extremely smoothly and had a faint scent of grass and trees.

I didn't see Su Zijin all the way up, but I did see some outer disciples cleaning the hiking trail. Thinking that my first task after joining the Tianguan Sect was to sweep this hiking trail, I couldn't help but slow down.

"Senior sister, everything is fine." The disciple who was cleaning stopped and bowed to Shen Xia.

"Junior brother is well." Shen Xia said nothing in return and continued walking up.

Then, Shen Xia passed by the double-eaves pavilion near the top of the mountain. Su Zijin was not there either, so it was at the top of the mountain. Shen Xia looked up. She had never been to this top of the mountain after visiting 23 Peaks dozens of times. After all, she still didn't know what kind of scenery the top of the mountain was.

Although she had never thought of going to the top of the mountain to see it before, it was not difficult for her to guess based on various factors that Peak 23 was the top of Su Zijin's mountain. The top of this mountain was naturally Su Zijin's residence.

The top of the mountain is indeed Su Zijin's residence, but it is a bit beyond Shen Xia's expectations - logically speaking, it should not be like in various fairy tales, with a rockery surrounded by flowing water in the front and a palace-style "three-entry" courtyard in the middle. , there will be a rockery hot spring or something later, wouldn’t the more luxurious one also come with a small practice ground?

The main building of Su Zi's residence is a courtyard. From a distance, it looks a bit like a garden. There are mountains and water in front of the garden. They are stacked on top of each other, making the courtyard seem to be close in front of you and yet far away in the horizon.

When Shen Xia walked across the stone bridge, walked around the rockery, and walked to the entrance of the courtyard, another scene appeared. The entire courtyard is very similar to the Japanese gardens that Shen Xia has seen in the original world. It also has dry landscapes, ponds and spring gardens, mountain gardens, flat courtyards, tea gardens, open spaces, etc., but it looks a bit more interesting than Japanese gardens. and agile.

Shen Xia was standing at the door and didn't know where to go. An emerald green bird stayed on Shen Xia's shoulder. Without chirping, it tilted its head and looked at Shen Xia.

It is a living creature, and it is a living creature with a certain amount of spiritual power in its body. "Are you here to lead me?" Shen Xia asked.

"Chi" the little bird seemed to understand what Shen Xia said and responded.

"Then please lead me the way."

Shen Xia followed Xiaoniao around Xushan Mountain, crossed Wu Bridge, and finally saw Su Zijin at the tea pavilion. The little bird chirped at Shen Xia, turned around and flew into Su Zijin's arms.

Su Zijin was still wearing a curtain hat and was sitting in the tea pavilion grinding tea powder. Shen Xia took a few steps forward and stopped about fifty feet away from Su Zijin and bowed: "Senior Su is well. "

Su Zijin didn't respond. She put the ground tea powder into a jar, then put a small amount of tea powder into the tea bowl, added warm water, and stirred evenly with a tea spoon.

He placed the tea bowl opposite Shen Xia and then said, "The tea is ready. Sit down."

Only then did Shen Xia walk to sit opposite Su Zijin.

Neither of them spoke, just sipping tea and admiring the changing scenery outside the tea pavilion. In fact, Shen Xia probably knew why Su Zijin was looking for her, but she must not speak before the boss spoke, lest she appear too impatient.

"Chen Xia, why do you want to become my teacher?" Su Zijin put down his tea cup and asked.

Come, come, just like the re-examination of the postgraduate entrance examination, the tutor is asking questions face to face.

Naturally, this is how the system tasks are released... Shen Xia also put down her tea cup and thought carefully before replying: "Chen Xia is stupid. She has been practicing in Tianguan Sect for several years and is fortunate to know many outstanding elders. Each elder Everyone has their own strengths. When a disciple chooses a master, he or she will naturally fill in the corresponding master according to his own needs. "

Shen Xia paused and then said: "To be honest, I have seen your strength, senior, and there is no doubt about it. But other than that, I don't know much about you. But after I decide to apply for master When I was there, I chose Senior without any hesitation, for no other reason than because I believed in fate."

"The first task I received in Tianguanzong was to clean the 027 hiking trail. That was also the first time I met you, senior. Maybe you have forgotten that it was you who raised your hand and tapped my forehead gently. , all the impurities in my body will be eliminated. This may be just a wave of hands to you, but in my heart, this is the beginning of the fate between you and me. "

"I remember," Su Zijin said, "I told you that it was a reward for you, in multiple senses. At least it made me feel that Tianguan Sect is not so boring."

Shen Xia couldn't understand the underlying meaning of Su Zijin's words, so she fell silent. After a while, Su Zijin said: "When the new batch of disciples join the Sword Sect in September, and after the apprenticeship ceremony is held, you can move here with your dog. The west wing is still empty."

ah? Does this mean you agree to accept yourself as your disciple? "Senior..." Shen Xia was a little incoherent, "Is this... determined to fix me?"

Su Zijin was amused by Shen Xia's silly look: "What else? You are the only one who has signed up to be my master. If I don't accept you, I will really go to other elders to steal someone. "

"Thank you, senior!" Shen Xia was overjoyed, and even the expression on her face became lively. Didn't Lin Yinan declare Su Zijin to be his master? Shen Xia also had some doubts in her heart, but she suppressed them.

"But..." Su Zijin suddenly laughed with unknown meaning, "My disciple, Su Zijin, is not so easy to do. Shen Xia, you have to be completely mentally prepared."

She knew that the boss's legs were not so easy to hug, "For example?" Shen Xia asked tentatively.

"For example, even if you become my disciple, you still have to seize the time to practice. I heard that you can swing your sword left and right 2000 times a day when you are outside. I don't ask you to do more. In the past few days, I will run around Peak 23 every morning. Thirty laps, and the rest will wait until you truly become my disciple."
