Chapter 159: Assessment
...... So, when will the plot be able to fast forward?!
Obviously, the key plot passed in an instant, but these meaningless plots couldn't be stopped at all, Lu Tao felt that he must have been cursed by something, and he was going to be locked in this dream forever, and he couldn't get out again.
In short, chopping wood is chopping wood.
The life in the room is more regular than Li Xiuzhu's previous life of going to school and eating and sleeping every day, Xingchenzi is a good person, except for the beginning when he was surprised by the pair of horns on the top of Lu Tao's head, he didn't pay much attention to Lu Tao's unique horns.
The only people who chop firewood are Li Xiuzhu and Xingchenzi, and every morning just after dawn, Xingchenzi will come to Li Xiuzhu's courtyard to wake him up from his sleep, and after that, it is breakfast time.
Every morning, the pile of firewood, which is three stories high, will stand there quietly, Lu Tao has never seen who sent these bundles of firewood, but they will appear there on time every time, and there is no day of absence.
Every day, Li Xiuzhu followed Xingchenzi to deal with those thick or thin firewood, splitting them into long strips of uniform size, and soon, Li Xiuzhu's original pair of pure white hands became rough, and the position between the palm and the fingers became calloused, and then, the palm also became calloused, and the hand that originally held the book finally never regained its original appearance.
The axe that followed Li Xiuzhu at the beginning, a thick layer of pulp was ground on the axe handle, although it was Li Xiuzhu who used the force, but Lu Tao could also feel it, the more he used this axe, the more comfortable it became, especially, after Xingchenzi handed over the method of chopping firewood along the firewood pattern to Li Xiuzhu and Lu Tao, this feeling of convenience became stronger and stronger.
That's right, Lu Tao also learned this method, so ...... After returning to the real world, Lu Tao can even find a job chopping wood, and then become the leader of the wood-chopping world?
Well, forget it.
Counting from the time when Li Xiuzhu began to chop firewood with Xingchenzi, about a year has passed, and in this year, Li Xiuzhu's nominal master Chi Leizi has never appeared again, not only Chi Leizi, Shifangzi or Wumingzi has never appeared again, basically Li Xiuzhu can talk to only one person, Xingchenzi.
From Xingchenzi's words, Lu Tao learned something about the Kunlun Sect.
For example, the main peak of the Kunlun faction, that is, the largest peak in the floating island, can actually be moved, Lu Tao's idea can be fully realized, and the largest floating island does not fall to the ground once in ten years, it never lands, it can only float in mid-air.
Lu Tao could understand this, after all, even if it wanted to land, I am afraid that it would not be able to land between the four peaks of the Kunlun Sect, there was no open space here that could place such a large peak.
Oh yes, the Kunlun sect has four peaks in the southeast, south, and northwest, in addition to being divided according to geographical location, it is also divided according to the respective Tao between the exercises and the peak master, as for what the Tao is, Xingchenzi doesn't know, he also comes from hearsay from other places.
Li Xiuzhu's master, Chi Leizi, is the elder of Beifeng, there seem to be two kinds of elders, one is dedicated to cultivation to improve his own strength, and at the same time to improve the strength of the entire Kunlun faction, while the other is responsible for chores, of course, the chores here are not the chores hall that Lu Tao saw earlier, but the "chores" outside of cultivation.
Well, in addition to cultivation, for monks, they are all chores, whether it is recruiting new disciples for the Kunlun Sect, or supervising the distribution of various resources by the disciples of the Kunlun Sect, or going outside the mountain to contact nearby mountain people to help chop wood, these are all chores.
Other than that, no one came to say anything to Li Xiuzhu anymore, because of the two red horns.
Early in the morning, when it was time for Xingchenzi to appear, Li Xiuzhu did not wait for Xingchenzi to appear, and after waiting for a while, Li Xiuzhu pushed the door out and saw Xingchenzi coming in a hurry.
"Sorry, there's something delayed, let's go!"
Seeing that Li Xiuzhu was going to get the axe placed in the corner of the yard, Xingchenzi said again: "Qingzhuzi, don't take the axe, we don't have to chop wood today!"
After a pause, Xingchenzi continued: "Today is the day of the assessment, and I forgot to tell you yesterday. ”
Li Xiuzhu asked with some confusion: "Assessment?"
"After participating in the assessment, those who are qualified will be promoted to outer disciples, and those who are not qualified will continue to be miscellaneous disciples, let's go over early!"
Lu Tao mentioned his spirit, and finally there was a change.
After listening to Xingchenzi's explanation, Li Xiuzhu's expression did not change, as if it was just a trivial matter, he followed Xingchenzi and walked out.
"Qingzhuzi, you don't have to be too nervous. Perhaps thinking that Li Xiuzhu's expressionless face was caused by nervousness, Xingchenzi comforted as he walked forward: "Under normal circumstances, a new disciple of the Kunlun Sect who has only been here for a year probably won't be able to pass the first assessment to become an outer disciple, even if you don't pass this time, it doesn't matter." Moreover, whether you pass the assessment or not, the sect will issue the exercise of forging the body, and with this exercise, you can be regarded as stepping into the world of monks. ”
Lu Tao then remembered that every time he had dinner before, Xingchenzi would hurriedly run to the mountain next to the room, thinking that he was looking for a quiet place to practice the body exercises.
Li Xiuzhu nodded, but he still didn't say anything, and he didn't even have the meaning of exploring the content of today's assessment, which made Lu Tao not know what to say, to be honest, Lu Tao hoped that Li Xiuzhu could pass today's assessment, on the one hand, it was really boring to chop wood, and on the other hand, it was because Lu Tao guessed that if he wanted to leave this unbearable state, he would have to change something.
Even if you can't get out of here as you wish, it's a good thing if you touch something that can make the plot fast forward!
Out of the courtyard where the house is located, the scenery outside is still the same, Lu Tao observed the surrounding buildings, and found that there was almost no change compared to a year ago, think about it, a year is not long for ordinary people, and it is not a long thing for monks with a longer lifespan, compared to the rapid change, there will probably be no changes here, until the entire sect is destroyed.
Xingchenzi took Lu Tao back to the place where he had seen the "Miscellaneous Hall" a year ago, where there was a lot of people, and it was even more spectacular than a year ago, and Shi Fangzi, who was dressed in red, was standing behind a high platform at the door of the "Miscellaneous Hall", and was talking to Wumingzi who was standing beside him.
In addition, there were several stewards who were also dressed in blue standing beside Shi Fangzi, and Lu Tao didn't know him.
Seeing Xingchenzi leading Li Xiuzhu over, the noisy voice stopped for a while, and then a louder discussion spread from Li Xiuzhu's location, and in the few words that leaked out from there, Lu Tao heard words like "Demon Clan" and "Elder Chileizi".
Demon Clan? Lu Tao was a little excited in his heart, and finally heard something useful, who was the word "Demon Clan" talking about, Lu Tao didn't have to guess to think of it, the two horns on Li Xiuzhu's head couldn't be more obvious. In Lu Tao's time, whether it was Jin Lingzi's predecessors, Feng Kite's predecessors or other predecessors, it seemed that the word demon clan had never been mentioned, so Lu Tao couldn't understand what kind of relationship between the demon clan and these monks was.
"Don't be influenced by them, relax, there are many good people in the demon clan!" Xingchenzi said comfortingly.
Li Xiuzhu nodded: "Thank you, Xingchenzi." ”
Then, the conversation didn't continue, Lu Tao was a little regretful, it would be nice if he said a little more, maybe he could hear something useful from Xingchenzi's mouth.
When the sun rose at another angle, Shifangzi finally stopped talking to Wumingzi, he stood on the high platform in front of him, stretched out his hands and pressed down.
In an instant, the originally noisy crowd stopped, and everyone's eyes looked at Shifangzi on the high platform.
"The examination begins now, and whoever hears the name comes to me. ”
