Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 169
After the waiter left, Xiao Muying put her right elbow on the table, rested her chin with her right hand, turned her head and began to look around at the guests in the inn.

Shenmou Valley is in the mountains in the north of Zhuo Kingdom, although it is a hundred or eighty miles away from the nearest city to Shenmou Valley, but this monument city is already an extremely remote place.

However, after Xiao Muying observed, she found that this spacious restaurant was almost full of seats, and it was extremely lively.She carefully looked at the guests here, looking at their attire and the luggage they carried around, and deduced that most of these people were merchants, and most of them were in the fur business. It was probably because this place was backed by mountains, and most of the people lived by hunting. for the sake.

While Xiao Muying was observing the surroundings keenly, the waiter from the famous shop just now went back and forth. He put a pot of tea on the table and greeted with a smile: "Guest officer, this is the tea you want. The food is very delicious." It will be ready and served soon, please wait a moment."

Xiao Muying withdrew her eyes and raised her eyes to look at the shop waiter. She saw that this was a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old. Looking at the decent smile on his face and the look of vicissitudes in his eyes, one could tell that he must have been working in this shop. After a long time, I saw many people coming and going.

"Brother, don't leave in a hurry." Just as Xiao Muying was looking at the waiter in the famous shop, he had already smiled and nodded as a greeting to her, and turned around to leave, Xiao Muying hurriedly called out to him.

The waiter in the shop stopped and asked with a smile, "What else do you want to tell me?"

Xiao Muying reached into her bosom and took out a few Yunguo copper coins and handed them to the waiter, and said with a light smile, "Please, brother, I'll ask you something."

The shop clerk seemed to be used to such things, he did not refuse, took the copper coin in Xiao Muying's hand and looked down, then looked up at Xiao Muying, said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, guest officer, are you from Yunguo. "

Xiao Muying didn't answer the waiter's question, but asked directly: "Brother, isn't this place far from Shenmou Valley?"

"Well, it's not very close." The waiter replied: "But you leave the city at the North City Gate, and you can go north for more than a hundred miles."

Xiao Muying nodded, and continued to ask: "Brother, do you know how Mr. Shimou recruited apprentices in the Valley of Gods?"

"Guest guest, did you want to come under Mr. Ximou's door?" There was a dazed expression on the waiter's face, then he shook his head and said, "Then it's a coincidence that you came here, Mr. Ximou opened the gate three years ago. You accepted an apprentice once, and you only accepted an apprentice once last autumn, if you want to become Mr. Ximou's disciple, you may have to wait two years later!"

"Is that so..." Xiao Muying lowered her eyes to think for a moment, then looked up at the waiter and asked, "Then what is Mr. Shimou's criteria for accepting apprentices?"

The shop clerk smiled and replied: "Mr. Ximou's standards for accepting apprentices are very high. They have to go through several rounds of selection such as literary examinations, martial arts examinations, and art of war trials. Often only a few people are selected out of the hundreds of people who refer to each year. It's really harsh! And if it wasn't for the time to open the mountain gate to accept disciples, Mr. Ximou would never choose disciples. In the past, some noble children came and wanted Mr. Xumou to make it easier for him, just to test himself He doesn't even agree with whether his ability is qualified to be his apprentice!"

"Is it so difficult..." Xiao Muying waved her hands thoughtfully, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I see, thank you very much, little brother, go get busy."

"Yes, the little one is retiring." The shop waiter smiled, turned around and walked away quickly.

Only Xiao Muying was left sitting behind the table, slowly lowering her head, hiding her little face full of deep thoughts.
