Chapter 3 Deliberately Making Difficulties
Along the way, Meng Qi was silent, quietly listening to Tang Hu constantly telling him allusions about the Dao Source Sect, and he also had a little understanding of this Dao Source Sect in his heart, and he also had a little understanding of Tang Hu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Tang Hu was originally from the Yan Kingdom, and his family was still an official eunuch, and I heard Tang Hu say that his father had worked hard for many years to send him to Daoyuan Sect. Although his status is only a miscellaneous servant, his father, who is an official, is extremely satisfied.
"By the way, Meng Qi, don't talk nonsense when you go to pick up the senior brother later, that senior brother's temper is not very good." Tang Hu led Meng Qi and admonished.
"Hmm." Meng Qi nodded, he was already surprised.
From that place just now, only a few miles, Meng Qi had already seen dozens of miscellaneous disciples in a hurry.
These disciples all had a thick tiredness between their eyebrows, and when they saw that Tang Hu and Meng Qiduo were indifferent, they didn't say a word.
"By the way, Senior Brother Tang Hu, does the Daoyuan Sect have any female disciples?" Meng Qi was surprised that there was no female cultivator among the people he saw, and he couldn't let go of Meng Ziyi in his heart.
"Female disciple?" Tang Hu stopped with a strange expression, glanced at Meng Qi, and suddenly said with interest: "Meng Qi, are you like me to come to this Dao Yuan Sect to marry a female cultivator as a daughter-in-law." ā
Tang Hu's words made Meng Qi stumble, and he almost bumped into him, and there was a trace of strangeness in his heart, and he said secretly: Your father spent a lot of favors, and the money sent you to Daoyuan Sect just to let you take a female cultivator back to be his wife?
This father, this son, can it be more two.
"Hey, hey." Sensing Meng Qi's strange eyes, Tang Hu was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, my father and I are not what you imagined, but because my child daughter-in-law was admitted to the sect by the Daoyuan Sect, that's why I came here." ā
"I see." Meng Qi showed a look of understanding.
"But I seem to be wrong, not only have I never seen my child daughter-in-law for more than a year, but even this Qingzhu Peak has never been able to leave. As for those female cultivators, it seemed that they were all cultivating on the same mountain peak, and there were not many opportunities to meet male cultivators. Tang Hu spread his hands a little dejectedly.
It seems that Meng Ziyi must have been sent to the peak where the female cultivator was, no wonder there was no reason to see half a woman in the entire Qingzhu Peak. But it's also good, now that the secular world is plagued by war, and the people are struggling to make a living, it is also a good thing to be able to enter the Daoyuan Sect by chance.
"Well, there is the residence of the senior brother in front of me, and I will wait for you here. You have to remember what I told you, and don't talk nonsense. Tang Hu suddenly stopped, and pointed to a blue brick hut not far away, full of fear.
Meng Qi nodded and walked straight to the hut.
I saw that the house was spotlessly cleaned, and a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes squinting slightly, as if he was cultivating something, and a circle of white aura visible to the naked eye poured into his nose like a spiral nest.
With the exhale and inhale of the horse-faced youth, the white mist entered and exited like two white dragons.
Meng Qi looked at such a different color in surprise, remembered Tang Hu's instructions, took a deep breath, stood in front of the middle-aged man, and did not speak.
"Are you a new disciple who came in through Elder Yan's connections?"
When a full light of incense passed, when Meng Qi felt that his feet were numb, the pock-faced senior brother finally opened his eyes, and a thick mockery appeared on his face.
Although he had already prepared, Meng Qi still felt a little angry in his heart when he saw the expression on Mazi's face. These bulls' noses all seemed to be owed him millions, and a good face showed a look of disgust.
"This is your name tag and miscellaneous uniform. Even if it is personally assigned by Elder Yan, you must know how to be humble and humble, in this Qingzhu Peak, you must inform me of everything first. Before Meng Qi could speak, a set of gray cloth robes appeared out of thin air in the man's hand like a trick.
"From tomorrow onwards your task is to carry water, and every day you will have to fill the water tank in the stove room, and if any of the tanks are not full, there will be no food. Do you understand what I'm saying? ā
"Understood."
Meng Qi glanced at the pockmarked face full of banter suspiciously, and a trace of bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
However, he nodded stubbornly, took the clothes token and withdrew. There is also an ancient book with an ink-colored cover on it, with three large characters on it.
"Hmph, the waste who came in by relying on relationships, still thinking about cultivation and daydreaming." When Meng Qi left, a touch of disdain flashed in the pockmarked face's eyes, and he snorted coldly.
ā¦
"Meng Qi, you are actually in the same house as me, it seems that we are really fated." Tang Hu picked up the wooden card in Meng Qi's hand and was pleasantly surprised.
Oh!
How many disciples can live with Tang Hu is indeed a bit incredible. Meng Qi's intuition told him that this matter was probably not as simple as a coincidence.
It's just that now Meng Qi didn't have the capital to question Senior Brother Ma Face, so he took out the wooden card and looked at it carefully.
The wooden plaque was made of an unknown piece of wood, and it felt heavy in the hand, with the name of Meng Qi engraved on it, as well as the number of a T-shaped row. The three big characters of Daoyuan Sect on the back of the wooden plaque are engraved like dragons flying and phoenixes, and when you look at them carefully, those three words actually exude a faint light. Meng Qi was secretly surprised, it was indeed an immortal thing.
"Meng Qi, what kind of work did Senior Brother Ma assign to you? Isn't it chopping wood! Tang Hu looked at Meng Qi with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Carry water for the water tank in the stove room, and there will be no food until the tank is full."
It turns out that he is Senior Brother Ma, but it complements the code words on his face, and he is very foiled. Meng Qi had some resentment in his heart, and his words were naturally a little sarcastic.
"The stove room?" Tang Hu exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Meng Qi saw Tang Hu's big mouth open enough to swallow his fist, and his heart sank suddenly.
"Meng Qi, you... Didn't you offend Senior Brother Nama, didn't I tell you that it was better not to talk nonsense? Tang Hu glanced at Meng Qi with a slight reproach, his face full of sympathy: "You don't know, the water tank in the stove room is not the waist-thick water tank in our house." Rather, there are more than a dozen bamboo and wood water tanks with a size of three zhang. Don't say one day, even if it is ten days or eight days, it is impossible to pick it full. ā
"What?"
Meng Qi was taken aback, one zhang is two or three meters, and three zhang is seven or eight meters. Isn't it the size of a small swimming pool? Such a tank is not one, but more than a dozen.
Meng Qi suddenly felt a surge of anger rush to his heart, it turned out that the teasing meaning of the pockmarked face was this. After a while, Meng Qi took a deep breath and said in a calm voice: "Since it is impossible to pick it all, why do you have to set such a task." ā
Tang Hu was obviously stunned, and suddenly said strangely: "It's not that you are dissatisfied, but it is impossible for you alone, that big vat was originally followed by a mountain spring, and I don't know why, the mountain spring dried up half a year ago." ā
"That's why we need to go to the stream ten miles away to fetch water, but we will only send ten disciples after three days at a time, and now let you pick up the ...... alone."
"Meng Qi, in my opinion, Senior Brother Nama is probably deliberately embarrassing you."
"Probably he wants you to bribe him with something. When I first arrived, I was also assigned a lot of heavy work, but then I secretly gave him ten big gold cakes to change me to a more relaxed one. ā
"Big gold cakes? Bribe? ā
Meng Qi's eyes lit up, this immortal cultivator also has such a hobby?
For a moment, he realized something. According to Tang Hu's words, it is not difficult to guess that the hundreds of people in Qingzhu Peak are all miscellaneous servants who have not yet stepped into the first layer of qi refining, even if there is a difference between strength and weakness, it is only the strength and weakness of the body, and they are mortals who have not stepped into the immortal gate, of course, they have nostalgia for the things in the secular world.
Furthermore, even if they don't need it, their relatives in the worldly world can use it.
This may be one way to do it.
Is it just that you can find something that will interest the pockmarked face from there?
Meng Qi looked at Tang Hu with secret thoughts in his heart.
"You... What are you doing looking at me like this, that big golden cake was stuffed into me by my father when he was leaving, and now I am also shy in my pocket. Tang Hu saw Meng Qi looking at him with a bright face, and his neck shrank at the moment.
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
"That's... Tang Hu, I just want to know what can make Senior Brother Nama tempted. Meng Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Tang Hu looking at him with a guarded face.
"I see, this one. Cultivators are nothing more interested in the treasures of heaven and earth, such as the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the depths of the great green mountains, the essence of green bamboo. ā
"Meng Qi, don't tell me, you're playing with this idea." Tang Hu looked at Meng Qi in astonishment and said, "You still have to die of this heart, this Dao Source Sect has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, and I don't know how many people have tried this method of yours." ā
"There are very few successful people, and more are crushed in the deep mountains and fed to wild beasts!"
"I heard that there was an extremely vicious companion beast beside Tiandi Bao that day, and if you want to capture the treasure, you have to have the ability."
"This..."Meng Qi didn't think much about it.
The top priority now is not to cultivate, but to fill your stomach, even if you can't get along peacefully with that pock-faced senior brother, you must not interfere with each other.
It's just that Meng Qi hasn't figured out what way to live in peace for a while.
"However, Meng Qi, you don't have to worry, who let the two of us live together. It's a big deal, I'll secretly get some food from the stove room for you every day. It's impossible for Senior Brother Nama to notice it. Tang Hu patted his chest with an oath.
"Thank you very much." Meng Qi nodded, and wrote down Tang Hu's words in his heart.
"You're welcome, it's all as it should be. In the past year, no one has wanted to sleep in the same room with me, and I am very bored, and now that you are my roommate, how can I watch you care. Tang Hu smiled humbly and said.
What? Do you want to make it clear, no one wants to share a room with you? Or does no one dare?
Meng Qi suddenly felt that the horse-faced senior brother was targeting him everywhere.
