Chapter Twenty-Four: Too Bad
It is not uncommon for the river to be crystal clear, but it is rare for this small river to flow upstreams from the bottom to the top of a small hill on the side.
The task was to fill a large iron bucket in the refinery with the water of the Qing River. In the Mu family, she was used to sprinkling and sweeping, so she neatly took out the two waist-length wooden barrels given by the task from the Qiankun bag, and hesitated about how to fill the water.
Looking at the strange Qinghe, she remembered the usage of Zanglu again. Placing the barrel by the river, she tried to slowly infuse the barrel with aura. Sure enough, in less than a few breaths, a strange splash appeared in the Qing River, and two streams of clear river water flowed into the wooden barrel on the bank in turn.
After filling the river, Mu Xici continued to exert his aura, lifted the two wooden barrels and walked towards the refining workshop.
At first, she thought the two buckets were unusually lightweight. But after walking for a while, the weight of the bucket seemed to start to increase.
Unless she continued to infuse her aura, she would not be able to lift the barrel that she could barely hold with her strength. The water was finally transported to the iron bucket, and the water of the two wooden barrels combined could only cover the bottom of the large barrel.
What to do. She visibly felt that she could no longer apply aura to the barrel. She had just applied all the way of aura to the wooden barrel, and now her dantian might not be able to withstand the second round trip of aura consumption.
Just when Mu Xici hesitated, the iron bucket next to him made a "bang", and it was filled with a full bucket by the people who arrived later. When I looked up, it turned out to be Zhou Weide, who came in with her and was at the bottom of the line.
Seeing that Zhou Weide had filled an iron bucket and continued to carry the barrel in the direction of Qinghe, Mu Xici blinked and stopped him: "Zhou ...... Senior Brother Zhou, please stay. ”
Zhou Weide's figure is extremely strong, but he has a simple face. So when I turned around after being stopped, the face that didn't match my figure looked very interesting.
"I don't know if Senior Brother Zhou took it, it's the task of filling a wooden barrel and getting one spar per month. ”
"It turned out to be Senior Sister Mu. Senior sister guessed correctly, I did that task. ”
Mu Xici's eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior Brother Zhou is interested in helping me fill an iron bucket every day, and I am willing to produce two spars." ”
Zhou Weide hurriedly turned around and said, "Senior Sister Mu, the spar is not easy to come by, and it must be wasted in this kind of place." Besides, this quest can improve the proficiency of using Reiki, which is quite useful. ”
I didn't expect him to be such a real person, Mu Xici smiled and shook his head: "My current cultivation ...... There is some conflict with this, but the task must be completed, I don't know if Senior Brother Zhou can help. ”
It turned out that there was a reason, Zhou Weide scratched the back of his head and nodded awkwardly: "It's okay, but Senior Sister Mu just give me a spade, I don't want so much." ”
After settling down with Zhou Weide, she went directly to the refining workshop.
Walking into the refinery, you will be greeted by two rows of neatly opposite houses. Isn't it the imaginary scene of a group of tough guys striking? As soon as this inner exclamation came out, Mu Xici felt embarrassed for his thoughts.
An old man dressed in a black coat walked up and holding what appeared to be a fishing rod in his hand.
The only thing that was a little abrupt was his long gray beard, which dragged all the way to his chest. Mu Xici was about to step forward, but the old man shook his head and shook his fishing rod.
She only saw the old man's wrist move slightly, but the line on the fishing rod seemed to be alive, and circled in the air and went straight in front of her.
There was obviously only a thin silver fishing line in front of her, but it faintly exuded a coercion that made her dare not take even one step forward: "The junior is Mu Xici, a new disciple of the Fengyun Palace, who came to hand over the task of hiding the revelation in his hand. ”
"The dew of the Hundred Flowers Forest is just useful, hand it in. The old man shook his head and shook his wrist again, and the fishing line was suddenly lifted and withdrawn, and of course the fishing line went back with the bottle of Tibetan dew in her hand.
This hook was in one breath at a time, and it wasn't until the hidden in his hand was revealed to the other party's hand that Mu Xici reacted. The high-ranking monk made a move, and it was really extraordinary.
"Too bad. If you don't pass today's task, you can turn it in tomorrow. ”
Before she could ask why, the next moment she was thrown out of the gate of the refining workshop by a fishing line. "Who is this old man, I haven't done my third task yet. The dew is so bad. ”
"Senior Sister Mu, were you also thrown out by Master Ling?" Zhou Weide happened to come back with a large bucket of river water, and watched the process of Mu Xici being thrown out correctly.
It turned out that the old man who shook his head was the head of the refining workshop? Fortunately, he didn't have time to open his mouth to refute.
Mu Xici coughed embarrassedly, stood up and humbly asked Zhou Weide, "I use Tibetan dew to collect the nectar of the Hundred Flowers Forest, I don't know why Director Ling said that the quality is not up to standard......"
"I don't know, but every once in a while I can see someone being thrown out by the Ling master because of the hidden dew. ”
Looking at Zhou Weide's funny appearance of scratching his head anxiously, Mu Xici finally laughed: "I just asked casually, Senior Brother Zhou, don't care too much." ”
For most of the next half a month, she would go to the refining workshop rain or shine to hand in the Tibetan dew. Of course, without exception, they will be thrown out of the door by the Ling master.
"There are always so many new disciples every time, and they can't weigh their own strength. ”
"Senior brother, who upset you again?"
The man known as Senior Brother squinted at the person outside the door: "How can a disciple with a mere lowly cultivation provoke me." It's just that I think it's a bit of an eyesore. Seeing that the new disciple who was thrown out of the refining workshop didn't just practice qi, he wanted to collect the hidden dew. ”
The girl exaggeratedly echoed, "Collect Tibetan Dew, I am now at the seventh level of Qi training, and I still dare not take on this task." At first glance, she was a new ordinary disciple, and she didn't know anything about the task because she didn't have a master to teach her. ”
The voices of the two were not loud or small, mixed with the drizzling rain, but they just made Mu Xici outside the door hear clearly.
"Of course, ordinary disciples are not qualified to be compared to us lineage disciples. Senior sister, let's go in quickly. One more look at the man made him feel unappetizing. ”
"Oh, why should Senior Brother Yi care about such a little ant with his cultivation? I don't feel ashamed to be thrown out so many times. If I had hid in my house and cried. is still a senior brother, and he can be praised by the head of Ling every time. ”
The rain slowly flowed down the placket of Mu Xici's neckline, and the cold water droplets made her can't help but feel excited. The rain in spring was not as moisturizing and silent as she imagined, but seemed to be mixed with ice edges, scattered all over the sky on the path of cultivating immortals that she was going to advance.
After entering the Sanqing Pavilion, she worked very hard to understand the world of cultivating immortals, and she was also optimistic about the path of cultivation. But the broken dantian is always a fact that she wants to avoid carefully, but she can't avoid it no matter what.
She is a descendant disciple, not an ordinary disciple. She was the only disciple selected by Elder Yu Feng in this disciple election! But it had been almost a month, and she, the so-called descendant disciple, had never seen her master at all.
Even if they meet, they can make her no longer have to be afraid every day. I am afraid that the master will find out that there is a problem with her dantian, and I am afraid that the master will regret choosing her.
No one taught her how to do the master's task, and no one instructed her to hide what went wrong. She never felt ashamed of being thrown out, but she hoped that someone would pick her up and show her the way forward.
"Are you alright? An umbrella suddenly appeared, blocking the drizzle beside Mu Xici.
