Chapter 16: The Stinky Old Man Called "Wu Dao"
Li Qing returned to the miscellaneous service hall, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw the stinky old man in charge sitting in the courtyard, and the two of them looked at each other.
"Where's Chai? Why didn't you go out for a day and didn't cut firewood?! ......" The old man looked at Li Qing's empty hands and roared again. Although it was an angry word, Li Qing always felt that there seemed to be such an idea of schadenfreude in the tone of the stinky old man's speech this time!
"You can't blame me for this, it's what you said that cultivators can't use tools! I've been working hard all day to pull up the tree, and I'm dying of exhaustion, but this tree is so thick, alas, I haven't even had time to eat, and I have to continue tomorrow! Why don't you pull it out with the help of the person in charge? Li Qing put his hands together, his expression was innocent, as if there was really such a thing.
The old man looked at Li Qing and didn't seem to be cheating, but he didn't know what to say, his expression froze!
"Look at your old man's age, you were scared like this as soon as I said it, forget it, I'll figure it out myself!" Li Qing muttered as he walked past the old man. That tone should be more resentful, more resentful.
As soon as Li Qing walked into the backyard, there was an old man's roar behind him, and the smile on Li Qing's face deepened! It seems that it is quite fun to watch this stinky old man eat deflated!
Before coming to the wooden house, the wreckage of the wooden door that was slapped away by the old man in the morning was still lying on the ground, looking at the empty door, the corners of Li Qing's mouth twitched, it seemed that it was not so fun to make the old man deflated, and it was just right to make him angry!
Stepping through the wreckage of the wooden door, he walked back to the bed and sat cross-legged, took a teapot from the storage ring, and took two sips from mouth to mouth.
This teapot is the one that originally contained the spiritual spring in the token space! After Li Qing and Shui Xin separated before, he had tried to take out the things in the token space outside, but he didn't expect it to be really successful, but this was only for the items that could be moved in the token. It's not okay to grow in space like Lingquan!
Absorb all the aura in the spiritual spring, and run the exercises to restore the body to its best state. Lie down and rest, and have nothing to say all night.
In the next few days, Li Qing practiced the Qingyi trick in the mountains and forests for a whole day every day like the first day, and then went back to the Miscellaneous Service Hall! With the passage of time, Qing Yijue's second layer is getting closer and closer to the Great Perfection realm, and Li Qing's skin trauma is almost recovering! And the stinky old man hasn't been seen since the first night! seems to have forgotten about the need for Li Qing to chop wood and boil water, and even Li Qing suspects that he may have forgotten that there is such a person as her! And what Li Qing was most puzzled about was that in the Miscellaneous Service Hall, she had never seen a third person besides herself and the old man!
As the morning sun rose, the wooden house, which had been somewhat dark, grew brighter and brighter. It's time for a new day! It has been ten days since Li Qing came to the Hundred Acupuncture Gate, and her Qingyi Jue is also a great consummation! On this day, Li Qing did not go to the mountains to cultivate as usual, but went all the way east and came to the steward's hall!
At this time, there were already a lot of outer disciples standing at the door of the steward's hall, and Li Qing walked behind the last outer disciple and lined up!
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer people in front of the team, and soon it was Li Qing's turn! Taking a small porcelain vase from the steward's hand, Li Qing took it and walked to the side and looked at it carefully!
The small porcelain vase is blue on a white background and is plugged with a stopper! When you open the stopper, you can see that there is a trace of aura around the bottle mouth, which is not obvious! Buckled the bottle over and put it in his hand, poured out three blue and white pills, and put them on his nose, with a faint aroma! It seems that this is the lowest level pill of the outer disciples' monthly elixir, the Qi Condensing Pill!
"Li Qing, you're really here! Brother Ao said that he must be able to wait for you here, I don't believe it yet, I didn't expect it to be here! Where have you been these days? I went to look for you with Brother Ao the day after I started, but I couldn't find you! As the voice sounded, a hand fell on Li Qing's shoulder.
Li Qing raised her head when she heard the sound, looked in the direction of her hand, and saw an enlarged face appear in front of her, subconsciously took a step back, and looked at it again, and saw Wang Ao and Shui Xin standing in front of her looking at her.
"Ah, why are you here? The outer disciples have to do work, and I've been in the Miscellaneous Service Hall these days! Li Qing put away the pill and responded to Shui Xindao!
"Miscellaneous Hall?" As soon as Li Qing said the three words of the Miscellaneous Service Hall, he saw Wang Ao on the opposite side repeating it with a strange expression!
"Well, yes, the Miscellaneous Hall! Originally, I thought it was just doing chores and doing odd jobs, but I was asked to chop wood and burn ten tanks of water to cool, and I didn't give tools, and I haven't cut down a tree in the past few days! And it's very strange, I've been there for ten days, and it's just me and the old man, and the old man is weird enough and has a bad temper! Li Qing saw Wang Ao's expression as if he had an insider, and hurriedly stated his situation simply.
"Uh~ That miscellaneous hall, although the name sounds like it is for the management of handymen, but in fact, it is the private territory of Uncle Wudao, that is, the old man you said, and the name of the courtyard is also given by Uncle Wudao himself! Uncle Wu Dao is a senior of the same generation as my master, and he is a master in the later stage of foundation building, and I heard that he has a strange temper! He has no apprentices, and he doesn't like outsiders to enter his territory, so every year there will be disciples sent to help him do things! But I heard that no one seems to be able to do it long, and many of them stay for two days and are either kicked out, or they can't stay still. There are really not many people like you who have lasted so long! Wang Ao tried his best to make the content of his words more acceptable! But Li Qing still saw the trace of sympathy hidden under his calm face, it seemed that the old man's reputation in the sect was really not good!
Li Qing didn't expect things to be like this. Hearing the old man's cultivation, and then thinking of the usual angry state, I instantly felt that she was really fateful! But if you think about it, she doesn't care, anyway, the old man is not harmful to her at the moment!
Putting aside the matter of the Miscellaneous Servant Hall, a few people chatted about other things! Li Qing learned that Shui Xin, like Wang Ao, is now worshipping under the door of the retreat real person, and it has only been ten days, and Shui Xin has already entered the first layer of the Qi cultivation period, which really makes people like Li Qing who have taken a long time all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred! According to what she said, the treatment of the inner disciple is really better than that of the outer disciple, and it seems that her master is also very fond of her!
A few people probably said that it was half an hour before they said goodbye and left one after another.
As soon as Li Qing returned to the miscellaneous service hall, he saw that the old man was at the gate of the courtyard, sitting on a small bench, with the resentful appearance of the white beard, as if he had lost his grandson!
As soon as Li Qing pushed open the wooden door, the old man's roar came from his face!
"Stinky boy, it's been a few days, and I haven't even brought back a single piece of firewood, even if I pick up a branch, I can pick up half of the yard, where are I going to play today...... The beard that made my old man wait was white......"
"Stop shouting! I didn't even give the tools, and my cultivation was not enough, so I let a ten-year-old child pull it out by hand, and you are embarrassed to teach me to be lazy?! Don't pretend, I know it, you are always cultivating in the later stage of foundation building, and you can get the firewood back with one finger, maybe you can move your fingers, the water is boiling, why do you have to torture me? Li Qing said and sat on the ground as if he was cheating, although he already knew that the old man's cultivation was profound, but he couldn't help but be angry with him! And the previous successive confrontations made Li Qing know that this old man is a paper tiger with a kind heart, but the knife mouth is not the heart of the knife, at least the endurance of her little boy is still quite strong!
"You, you, you,...... Forget it, you can use the axe if you want, in short, I will finish what I arranged in the next half a month! Hmph, the young man now ......" The old man saw Li Qing sitting on the ground, but he didn't know what to do with this little boy, so he turned around and walked towards the house.
Li Qing looked at the old man's back, stood up from the ground, patted his buttocks, and then entered the wooden house with a smile on his face.
In the next few days, Li Qing simply stayed in the wooden house in the backyard and cultivated, but fortunately, the old man didn't bother her again in the past few days, and her cultivation went quite smoothly!
On this day, Li Qing sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, opened his eyes, and a flash of joy flashed, after eighteen days of cultivation, the second level of Qingyi Jue was finally completed! And there are only 7 days left before the time limit given by the old man!
