Chapter 6: The First Arrival
Out of the main hall, Senior Brother Xia Ping took them to the place where they lived, and instructed them along the way: "This identity wooden plate is made of Nanximu, and it is only available in the ghost wood, which is very precious. It records all the records of you from entering the Qiankun Gate, and you will use it when you go out to the sect and turn in tasks in the future, so you have to keep it well, and when you enter the body, you will be able to see the content inside. ”
Everyone nodded.
The place where their miscellaneous disciples lived was relatively remote, and they passed through several halls all the way to get there. The courtyard complex is located in a relatively flat area between several peaks. There are about 200 miscellaneous disciples of the Qiankun Sect who live here.
Each courtyard has five rooms, with two people living in one room. Cheng Yu is currently in men's clothes, and her dress can't hide the eyes of those immortal cultivators, but the problem is that her qualifications are low, and few people have seen her at the end of the day. In addition, she is young now, and she is the age of indistinguishable between male and female, so no one notices that she is actually a girl. She was assigned to the men's house. The gate she entered was numbered seventy-eight. Thinking about the Qiankun Gate, he didn't pay much attention to the place where the miscellaneous servants lived, so they numbered them in order.
"In the future, you will live here, and if you don't understand, read the book "Detailed Explanation of Qiankun". Senior Brother Xia Ping explained and turned around with the others and left.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xia." Cheng Yu bowed and pushed the door into the room, the room was not big, there were simply two beds, a round table and a few wooden chairs in the middle, and a screen in the corner. There was already someone in the room, but it was not in the room at the moment, Cheng Yu chose the remaining empty bed and put the luggage away. Miscellaneous disciples don't have storage bags to distribute, and if they want to have them, they have to spend five spirit stones to buy them. Cheng Yu counted the belongings that had just been sent. A bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill and a bottle of Bigu Dan Cheng Yu were put into the storage bag they picked up, and the two spirit stones and two sets of sect clothes were put aside, and all that was left was a few books. In addition to "Detailed Explanation of Qiankun", the other previous storage bags were all there, and Cheng Yu also put them aside.
Cheng Yu took a miscellaneous uniform and changed it after the screen, and the size of it was just right on his body. There were no mirrors in the house, and she didn't know what to wear.
With nothing to do, Cheng Yu sat down on the bed cross-legged with his eyes closed, and carried out the qi trick according to the newly issued "Qiankun Jue" this time. After a while, I felt these dots of light around me, interspersed with small dots of light. She could vaguely feel that there were points of light slowly moving around her body, but they didn't enter her body, Cheng Yu kept carrying the qi trick, but all she could do was useless, and after a while, the points of light dissipated.
When Cheng Yu opened his eyes, it was already dark, and he sat for a long time, his feet were a little numb, and he swung his feet on the edge of the bed to move, and his body stiffened, and he noticed that there was a pair of eyes staring straight at her in the darkness opposite. When he saw that there was a person sitting on the bed there, Cheng Yu took a deep breath.
"Don't you even light the lights?" Cheng Yu rolled her eyes, scared her to death, okay?
The man did not reply, but got up and lit the candle. The candlelight was a little dim, and Cheng Yu took out the glowing stone that the big Han Lu Meng had obtained, she now knew that this was a luminous stone, and the night pearl of the mortal world contained a large amount of fluorescent powder. The room suddenly lit up, and Cheng Yu also saw the person opposite.
It was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, his appearance was very delicate and handsome, there was a hint of vigilance on his dark face, and his tall and thin body wearing the clothes of a miscellaneous disciple looked a little thin.
"This senior brother, what do you call it in the next corner?" Cheng Yu opened his mouth to say hello, and after waiting for a while, the young man didn't make a sound.
Cheng Yu was bored with himself, so he took the toiletries and pushed the door out. Each yard has its own bathroom and kitchen. Walk down the hallway to the end to the bathroom. The people in the courtyard had already returned, and at this time there were three people talking in the courtyard.
When they saw her coming, everyone looked at her at the same time, their eyes probing, and when they noticed that she had come out of that room, there was a touch of disgust and hostility in their eyes. At the same time, one of the chubby teenagers said with displeasure: "Look at it, it's a useless waste again..."
Cheng Yu was a little inexplicable, and asked patiently: "A few senior brothers, in the next Cheng Yu, I just arrived at the Seventy-Eighth Courtyard today. Please be clear about what is wrong. ”
The young man saw that Cheng Yu was reasonable and modest, and he looked young and ignorant, and his face was a little pale, "In Xia Du Qi, they are Du Feng and Du Quan, Du Quan was also angry just now, and he didn't choose what to say, little brother is not strange......"
It turned out that they had arrived here half a month ago, and they also knew more about the sect, and the miscellaneous disciples of the Qiankun Sect had mandatory tasks, but these tasks could be selected by competition. There aren't many easy tasks, and the handymen need to use all their skills to get it. The Qiankun Gate has been established for a long time, and the relationship between the miscellaneous servants in the door is intertwined, and there have long been factional disputes. It is divided into a front yard and a back yard by the distribution of courtyards. And every time a new disciple appears, he will always be oppressed. A few days ago, an old disciple came to collect the Qi Nourishing Pill, although one per person per month was not much, but the miscellaneous disciples could only receive a bottle of ten Qi Nourishing Pills every month, and everyone inevitably felt pain. But if they don't, they will be made difficult in the task workshop. So the new disciples are still honest.
And the young man in Cheng Yu's house is named Yin Zixu. Not only did he not pay it that day, but he also had a fight with the disciples who came. This completely offended the backyard. Although those backyard disciples are hindered by the door rules and obviously won't come to settle accounts, they can do tricks in receiving tasks.
Speaking of this, the little fat man Du Quan roared again: "If it were just him, even the people in our entire hospital would not have a good life now." You look at our work from morning to night, whether we can draw qi into the body without saying that we are tired to death. ”
I didn't expect that in the eyes of mortals, such a sacred and desirable place, there will still be these intrigues and power struggles, it seems that there are rivers and lakes where there are really people.
"Don't the deacons of the sect care?"
After listening to Cheng Yu's question, Du Quan sneered, "Do you think you don't know from above, these deacons are their backers, and most of the finances they get have gone into the pockets of these deacons, and you don't understand the Tao here." As he spoke, he glanced up and down at Cheng Yu.
A few people also felt that it was really useless to talk to Cheng Yu, a half-grown child, so they dispersed and went back to the house.
Cheng Yu pursed his lips and continued to walk towards the bathroom. It seems that if you want to live a good life in the sect, spirit stones are indispensable. Thinking of the dozens of spirit stones in her pocket, she suddenly felt that she was a poor person. The layout of the bathroom is very simple, divided into three compartments, there is no one at this time, Cheng Yu entered one of them and locked the door. Pull out one of the plugs on it, and water will flow in, which is convenient. I heard that you can practice spells at the third level of Qi training, and if you pinch the dust clearing trick casually, your body will be clean, so you don't have to be so troublesome.
When he returned to the room, Yin Zixu was not there, and Cheng Yu continued to cultivate. Just like last time, all kinds of light points quickly converged around, and Cheng Yu gradually relaxed his body, feeling that he was in the light and shadow, playing with them. A golden light flashed in his mind, and the surrounding white light points seemed to be attracted by something, and they all merged into his body, but the colored light points suddenly disappeared.
Cheng Yu felt that his body was bathed in the sun, warm and comfortable. Cheng Yu sat all night, and got up the next day without a trace of fatigue, full of strength. The golden light in his body seemed to have condensed a little. And what is this golden light?
Yin Chengxu, who was in the same room, did not return overnight, and Cheng Yu ate a Bigu Dan and went out.
The mission workshop was not far away, and when Cheng Yu arrived, there were already many disciples watching around a task curtain wall. Miscellaneous disciples have a mandatory task every month, the length and difficulty of the task are announced on this curtain wall, and the task that is selected will be removed in time and replaced with a new one, and the disciples who have completed the mandatory task can also come to receive the task to earn spirit stones.
Cheng Yu squeezed in front of the curtain wall, and many tasks were densely arranged on it. The newest ones are on the far left, so a crowd is around there. Cheng Yu looked at them one by one, and sure enough, most of them were extremely difficult, such as in the refining room, the task locations of the alchemy room were mostly on the three peaks, and it took an hour to get from their residence to the nearest peak, so most of them had to hurry before dawn. And if she can't complete the task, she will be punished, so Cheng Yu can't be ambitious and choose those things that she can't complete at all now.
And the easier ones are also planting spiritual plants, cleaning and the like, these tasks occupy most of the time, and there is almost no time to cultivate, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Cheng Yu followed the catalog to the bottom, and when he saw a task, his eyes lit up, which said to dig spirit stones in the spirit stone mine. She chose this without hesitation, and she was afraid that others would rush her to hand over the task to her.
"This little disciple, you didn't choose the wrong one, this task is exhausting." The steward felt the need to remind this new little disciple that looking at his small body, he was afraid that he would not last a day and would collapse.
The surrounding disciples all asked curiously when they heard the steward's words, and when they heard the reason, they all talked to her: "Little junior brother, don't you know that this task looks like it takes less than three hours, but every month someone is carried back. ”
"That's right, look at the people around you, he can't last more than two weeks with such a physique, aren't you waiting to be punished?" Cheng Yu couldn't help but look sideways, there was a big man beside him, a burly body, and a tall altitude, Cheng Yu felt that there were at least two or three of her in that person.
Cheng Yu just shook his head: "I'll choose this, trouble taking care of things." Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't know what to do, the steward's face just sank, and after the quick handover, he sent the task into her arms and threw it into her arms and stopped looking at her. The surrounding disciples also looked at her like fools. Cheng Yu then turned around and walked out of the mission workshop.
