_Chapter 25 Miscellaneous Disciples
Bixiao Sect, located in the southwest of the Thunder Eagle Country, is hidden among the mountains, deep and unknown. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info the mountains in it are stacked, the iron cables are empty, the volley plank road is longitudinal and horizontal, and the pavilions and pavilions are embedded in the mountains, looming, and they want to talk and rest.
At the beginning of the overnight shower, the remnants of red were everywhere, and the water droplets slipped from the canopy of the trees, dripping on the mottled bluestone slabs, playing a peaceful music in the early morning.
In a simple room, Chu Chen woke up from his deep sleep, and his gaze naturally turned to the window and landed on the plantain after the rain.
Since the completion of the test in Aoki City, the group traveled a long distance, after more than a month, and traveled thousands of miles before they came to the Bixiao Sect.
To Chu Chen's surprise, Lin Xiruo didn't know what the reason was, so he didn't choose to go to another place, but also came to Bixiao Sect.
It's just that if Lin Xi joins the inner gate directly as soon as he comes, he must be able to fulfill the conditions such as the exercise resources promised at the beginning one by one. As for Chu Chen, he is very sad, and he is currently only a miscellaneous disciple.
The so-called miscellaneous disciples are actually a group of coolies, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, and they only get two star stone fragments per month.
This kind of fragment is the waste material produced by the mining of star stone ore, and the star power contained in it is very small, and it is of little value.
The pay is completely disproportionate to the return, which makes Chu Chen can't help but think of the cow. Cows eat grass and milk milk.
With such treatment, Chu Chen was naturally unwilling. It's just that he also knows that with his talent, if he is beaten into the miscellaneous disciples, there must be the forces of the Kaijiang Palace, and it is difficult to resist.
Fortunately, this period of working as a cow and a horse was only three months. Three months later, Chu Chen had the first chance to take the assessment, and after passing the assessment, he would be able to leave here and enter the outer gate and start his normal cultivation.
Chu Chen already has the strength of an outer disciple, so the assessment after three months is not difficult, the difficult thing is how to spend these three months.
Is it to endure humiliation and soar into the sky? Or is it a loss of vigor and forced to surrender? It depends on whether he can withstand all kinds of repression staged in three months.
"It's ridiculous to try to overwhelm me. I hope no one will come to trouble without knowing whether they are alive or dead! With a flash of sharpness in his eyes, Chu Chen got up.
If you can't break the game, you can only play according to the rules on the board. As a miscellaneous disciple, all kinds of work are naturally unavoidable.
At the task office, they lined up behind a team of miscellaneous disciples, waiting to receive the tasks that needed to be completed today.
Most of these tasks are splitting wood and carrying water, cleaning, cleaning up garbage, etc., but the same tasks are completed in different places.
It's like carrying water, the distance of the water source, whether it reaches the foot of the mountain or the top of the mountainside, is not the same thing at all.
Soon, the people in front of them received the task tokens one after another, and it was Chu Chen's turn.
"Name!" Tang Hu's face was full of meat, fat and strong, and he looked at Chu Chen impatiently. He didn't have a good face towards Chu Chen, no, all the miscellaneous disciples.
"Chu Chen." Chu Chen said lightly, neither arrogant nor humble.
"Chu Chen...... What the? Say it again! Tang Hu impatiently recorded his name, as if he remembered something, he suddenly raised his head, and his voice suddenly raised an octave.
"Chu Chen." Chu Chen's brows furrowed slightly.
"It turns out that you are Chu Chen." Tang Hu had an inexplicable smile on his face, and with the horizontal flesh on his face, he looked full of malice.
"Hold, this is your mission token, before dark, you must complete the task and come back to deliver, otherwise you will deduct one star stone fragment that you should get this month, and fast for three days!" As he spoke, Tang Hu rummaged through a pile of signs, and finally handed Chu Chen a token.
Chu Chen glanced at Tang Hu deeply, this person never said much when he issued the task, and the token was just taken casually. Now the careful selection and emphasis on the punishment for mission failure are really intriguing.
Chu Chen didn't think that Tang Hu was going to treat him favorably this time, he felt that the suppression against him had already begun.
"Look at it, don't take the token to the mission yet!" Seeing that Chu Chen didn't take the token, Tang Hu glared and spittle.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Chen finally picked up the token and turned around to leave the mission.
The miscellaneous disciples who saw this scene were full of slander in their hearts, and they probably understood that Chu Chen had offended someone, and subconsciously decided to stay away from this person in the future, so as not to be implicated.
"Zizhu Peak, water!" Looking at the words on the token, Chu Chen understood that he was going to a place called Zizhu Peak to fetch water.
However, where Zizhu Peak was, Chu Chen didn't know at all, he had just come to Bixiao Sect, and it was also the first time to carry out a mission. I walked around, but I didn't find the road signs, and I was stunned.
At this moment, a voice sounded behind him, "Hey, brother, what are you doing standing here stupidly?" Why don't you hurry up and go on a mission? If you can't finish it, you will have to deduct half of your income this month, not to mention, and you will be hungry for three days! ”
Chu Chen looked back and saw that he was a thin man, who looked older than himself, with pointed ears and gray fluff, which was very ugly. I couldn't help laughing: "You heard it all? ”
"Heard, brother is offending people, right? Otherwise, that damn Tang fat man wouldn't be so abnormal! The person who came said in a low voice, obviously not daring to say this blatantly.
Chu Chen nodded, thought about it, and showed the token in his hand, "Big brother, look at it, where should this Zizhu Peak go?" ”
"What? Zizhu Peak! Damn Tang Fatty, he actually took out this token, which is obviously trying to harm you. The people who came were indignant.
After listening to the explanation, Chu Chen understood that Zizhu Peak was a very special existence in the Bixiao Sect. The location is remote, separated from the major mountain peaks, and it is rumored to be an empty mountain, uninhabited.
In recent years, the mission about Zizhu Peak has long been discontinued. Unexpectedly, Chu Chen received the task of Zizhu Peak as soon as he came.
"I see, but stay away, please point me in the direction!" Chu Chen said.
The person who came sighed, "My name is Zhao Hao, if you don't dislike it, call me Brother Hao, or call me by name." After a pause, Zhao Hao said with a complicated expression: "This task is not as simple as being far away!" ”
"How?"
"After receiving the task, it must be completed at the designated place and exchanged for a token to complete the task at the place where the task is executed before it can be delivered back. Tell me, if there is really no one in Zizhu Peak, even if you complete the task, go there to change the brand? Zhao Hao sighed.
Chu Chen frowned, he didn't expect that there were so many doorways in this, it seemed that this Tang Hu had made up his mind not to let himself complete the task, and he was going to torture himself.
"In this case, let's see if this task can stump me!" There are rules in place, and unprovoked resistance will definitely not work, so you can only face the difficulties.
Hearing this, Zhao Hao sighed: "Okay, since you have decided to go, I will give you a paragraph!" ”
The two of them went on the road together, and during the conversation, Chu Chen knew that Zhao Hao was twenty years old, and it had been six years since he came to Bixiao Sect, and he had sold himself in, and he could only be a miscellaneous disciple for the rest of his life.
Zhao Hao is a half-demon clan, and he has demon mouse blood in his body. The so-called half-demon, between the human race and the demon race, is the product of the combination of humans and demons.
The half-demon clan is the same as the human and demon clans, and the people in it are of different strengths and weaknesses, and they are very affected by bloodline. Zhao Hao's bloodline is not good, and he is no different from a human civilian.
And Zhao Hao sold himself into the Bixiao Sect in order not to become stronger, in fact, he has been frugal, and his monthly income has been exchanged for silver taels, and after saving a certain amount, he sent it back to the village.
As they spoke, the two gradually became acquainted, and looking at Zhao Hao's fluffy ears, it didn't seem to be so difficult to see. In comparison, Zhao Hao is much better than those well-dressed and thoughtful-looking people.
After walking for nearly two hours, Chu Chen came to the foot of Zizhu Peak. With all these twists and turns, no one can lead the way, and it is really not possible to find a place.
"Okay, there's only so much I can help you, I'll go first." At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Hao patted Chu Chen's shoulder and left quickly, spending a lot of time on the road, and his task time was also very tight.
The breeze blows through the bamboo sea, the purple bamboo swaying all over the mountain, the branches and leaves intersect, rustling. Chu Chen walked up the mountain along the narrow bluestone staircase.
It may have been left unattended for a long time, and the stones were already covered with moss, and the humid air of the night rain could not be absorbed, so that the road surface was a little slippery.
Chu Chen didn't walk fast, and gradually he forgot the boredom in his heart. The empty mountain birds, the purple bamboo, the clear stream, the clouds are soothing, and the end is intoxicating.
The higher he went, the more curious Chu Chen's heart became, who actually created such a quiet place like a paradise?
Finally, Chu Chen vaguely saw a bamboo house on the top of the mountain. The melodious sound of the bamboo flute is as faint as light smoke, faint, and a chill is like a thousand years of ice, which is cold to the heart.
Frowning, Chu Chen stepped onto the top of the mountain.
There is no door in the bamboo house, the front and back are connected, and the blue veil ripples with the wind. Chu Chen looked intently, and there was someone sitting on the cliff in the veil, dressed in white. It's just a back, vaguely hazy, but infinitely beautiful.
Chu Chen opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked. I don't know if it's the clear sound of the bamboo flute, or the deep chill buried in the clean sound.
After a long time, the sound of the flute stopped, and there was only the sound of the breeze beating the leaves through the forest.
Chu Chen subconsciously walked forward, wanting to get closer.
Suddenly, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" A burst of wind struck, Chu Chen's expression tightened, and he rolled back in embarrassment.
When he got up again, Chu Chen was shocked to find that a few steps in front of him, the purple bamboo leaves were erected straight, and the sword aura was strong. The word "roll" was written by this sword-like purple bamboo leaf.
"It's so strong, it's so domineering!" Chu Chen smiled bitterly, before going up the mountain, he was worried that he would not find someone to hand over the task, but now he found that he had found someone, but one step away, it was like a moat.
Chu Chen naturally couldn't retreat, his eyes stared at the white shadow, for a long time, he didn't feel the slightest killing intent, inexplicably, he raised his footsteps, wanting to test forward.
As a result, with a "whoosh", a leaf of purple bamboo broke through the air and shot fiercely into the rock under his feet.
was so strong, Chu Chen didn't dare to leave his footsteps in front of him after all, but fell backwards.
"Miscellaneous disciple Chu Chen, I was ordered to come to carry out the task of carrying water, and I also asked my seniors to let the disciples pass." Holding down the shock, Chu Chen said loudly.
After speaking, it was a long wait, and Chu Chen didn't dare to urge, and he didn't speak inside.
After a long time, a cold voice sounded, "Token!" ”
