077 Off the Mountain
The so-called Jiaolong is actually a water snake that has become a spirit.
The monks generally prefer to call it a demon Jiao, after all, the dragon is a rui beast, not a monster, how can they offend at will? Don't say it's going to intercept and kill, just think about it, I feel that it's against my heart, and I'm afraid of demons.
However, the distinction between these gods and demons is not clear to mortals, and they only feel that this thing is huge, like the legendary dragon, so that such a task will appear...... If it was really a dragon infested, it would not be the turn of a weak Qi Refining Stage monk like her to see it.
Therefore, this mission is essentially to kill a water snake, which may be a bit of a way, but it is only to the extent of scaring and scaring mortals.
Not all creatures are able to speak and understand human language when they become spirits, at most they are a little smarter and more perceptive than their peers. At this level, any disciple above the third level of Qi refining could repel and kill it, which is really an easy task...... But if you look at the location, you can see why no one picked up.
The mission of Xiangnan City was released to the Xuanyin Sect in the south and north of the world, and they were really drunk......
If you have to give an example, it's a bit like getting stolen in Shanghai and asking the police in Beijing to help catch the thief.
It was impossible for a low-level disciple to go so far to do a task, and the high-level monk didn't look down on the little thing that was rewarded.
However, Yunyang City, where Xiangnan City and Zhang Yuanshan and the others are now located, is not far away, and for the sake of the task reward being useful to her, it is not impossible to go there when passing by.
As for the other messenger mission, it's just a matter of earning exchange points.
Speaking of this exchange point, it can be regarded as a benefit for outer disciples.
Even if it is the same sect, compared to the outer sect and the inner sect, there must be many restrictions, whether it is the Dao method they learn or the resources they get, they are the least among the same sect.
This kind of class system, in Zhang Baihua's view. It is inevitable, just as someone proposed the human pyramid in the previous life, some people stand at the top of the world, and some people are destined to be trampled underneath.
However, this pyramid is not set in stone. Some of them have been able to continue to rise to the top through hard work, and even be at the top...... The same is true for sects, where qualification has never been the only criterion for cultivation, it is just a rule that came about after there was no way to fairly distribute the same resources to each monk.
Good qualifications can give priority to the rules, but it is also necessary to give others a chance...... The existence of the exchange point has greatly narrowed the gap between the rich and the poor between the inner and outer disciples. As long as you work hard, it is possible to live more comfortably than the inner disciples...... What's more, once a young disciple appears who enters the inner gate from the outer gate, their presence will be even more dazzling than that of their peers who have been directly selected into the inner gate...... The monks who have really grown up in a lot of battles are far from being comparable to those who work behind closed doors.
This is also a very important reason why Zhang Baihua is determined to leave the sect and go out to practice.
She is like a person who has opened a cheat cheat in this world, skipping the arduous process and directly reaping the benefits...... But can you really become a successful monk as you expected?
As a former successful person, Zhang Baihua is well aware of the importance of frustration education.
After receiving the task, Zhang Baihua took Jiao Bai back to the small building in the clouds.
I have lived here for ten years, and I have really lived in my feelings.
She was a nostalgic person, unconsciously. It has become her home...... Compared to Wuling County, Jiluo Mountain seems to be more like her hometown, not to mention Yunyang City, which she has never been to.
Ten years ago, Zhang Yuanshan went to his family with his wife and children, but the family in Gyeonggi City was already overcrowded, except for placing the children of the Zhang family with excellent spiritual roots in one place to arrange cultivation together, the rest of the people were arranged elsewhere...... Even if it is not as prosperous as Gyeonggi, Yunyang, as a large southern city, is naturally a good place to go compared to the remote Wuling County.
On the second day, Jiao Bai was the only one who went to see her off.
Even a few days after she left the mountain gate. The people on Wuwei Peak gradually learned the news.
Zhen Yunrong seemed to be particularly shocked, and even wanted to go out to find someone without saying anything, but was punished by Qingyuan Zhenren and was not allowed to go out of the cliff for a year...... It means that he won't be allowed to go out to find Zhang Baihua within a year.
Orders to the Master. Zhen Yunrong will not disobey him, disobeying the teacher's orders is tantamount to betraying the family, he can't afford to carry such a big hat.
Moreover, with Zhang Baihua's cultivation, one year of training is already enough, and she will naturally come back when the time comes.
Gu Jicheng is sluggish again. also knew that this incident happened suddenly, mostly because of him.
But...... So what? After the knot in his heart is untied, he is just her fourth senior brother, the elder and the young are orderly, let him go and put down his body first, he has never done it in his "previous life", let alone now?
The most calm among the crowd was the senior brother Luo Yiming, who gave a morning lesson to the disciples that day, and vaguely saw Zhang Baihua coming down the mountain, but he didn't expect that she was going to go out to practice.
Although the others were surprised, they just heard about it, and it was impossible to chase people back, right?
The absence of a white confectionery on Jiluo Mountain will not change much.
And Zhang Baihua, who has already gone down the mountain, has a magnificent pride.
All the way south.
Yuyang County, where the mission is located, is the closest place she wants to go, so naturally which direction to go first.
After descending the mountain, Zhang Baihua hired a carriage...... Her cultivation is now low, and she can't go out of the mountain directly to practice with a sword like other senior brothers and sisters, and can only use mortal means.
In two lifetimes, she was making a carriage for the second time, and the last time she didn't do it for a long time, Qingyuan Zhenren used the technique of shrinking the ground into inches, so that they arrived at their destination in a blink of an eye, and this time it was a real ride......
Is...... It's so upside down!
Although the springs for shock absorption have been added, and soft soft cushions have been added to the position, but this ancient road condition is really not good, there is no asphalt road, this is not a smooth way to drive a Land Rover, let alone a horse-drawn carriage?
Fortunately, Zhang Baihua came out to travel, and he was not in a hurry, and his patience passed.
The driver of the carriage was a middle-aged man who looked fierce and vicious, but he was unexpectedly docile in front of Zhang Baihua...... In front of all the "immortal masters", no matter how treacherous and evil mortals are, they can only be well-behaved.
In addition, this man was specially found by the people she asked the people of Zhang's shop, so it was naturally impossible to be disobedient.
After walking for a day, seeing that he passed by a small town when it was getting dark, Zhang Baihua said: "Uncle Xu, let's rest here today, and leave tomorrow, you can find an inn to stay!" ”
"Yes, miss." The commission offered by the owner is huge, and Uncle Xu naturally has no reason why he shouldn't do it, and he can't wait to go as slow as possible, even if there is only one more day, the commission is not a small amount!
Where have you ever encountered such a good thing when you usually help people drive cars? The immortal master really made a generous move!
He didn't know that Zhang Baihua had been brought to Jiluo Mountain since he was a child, so he was very indifferent to the concept of gold and silver...... She also had no idea what the purchasing power of gold and silver was to the currency she was familiar with, and it was inevitable that she would use it a bit lavishly.
In fact, it's not just her, but all the monks in this world, except for the kind that picks the door, basically have loose hands.
When money is just a string of numbers...... It's invisibly tall, isn't it?
Zhang Baihua said that he didn't know that he was treated as a local tyrant, but he just looked at this mortal town with interest.
The entrance to the town does not have a town name, nor does it have a formal wall...... In the end, it has not left the three-regardless zone, revealing a strong stocking flavor. However, the number of cultivators in this town has obviously decreased by more than half compared to before, and the entire town is dominated by mortals, which can be seen from the inn Xiao Er where they stayed.
Obviously, the other party is not a person who often sees monks, and he is very enthusiastic about Uncle Xu, who went to stay in place of Zhang Baihua, and he does not suspect that they are monks, and only takes them upstairs as ordinary guests.
went upstairs and closed the door, Xiao Ershen said mysteriously: "There is also an aunt and grandmother living in our store, if you two are just passing by that night, don't go out, you have to take off a layer of skin when you meet that person." ”
Uncle Xu glanced at Zhang Baihua, and when he saw her nodding, he was a little reluctant to take out a little broken silver and hand it to Xiao Er.
That little two took it away with a thousand thanks, and he would remind him that wasn't it for this?
"Miss, do you know what that shopkeeper meant?" Uncle Xu asked.
"Well, there's a monk living in this shop." Zhang Baihua smiled, there is indeed such a person...... But it's really not to worry about, not to mention that her breath leaks all over her body, obviously less than the fourth layer of qi refining, that is, most of her aura is now dispersed, the spirit platform is empty, and the dantian is disordered, which is clearly in a state of madness, so I know that her situation is not very optimistic.
"What, there is still an immortal master in this little broken shop?" He knew the word monk...... A mortal can live under Jiluo Mountain until now, he is definitely not a stupid person who doesn't understand anything. The reason why he chose this inn was that there must be no monk willing to stay in such a dilapidated place...... Well, with the exception of this immortal master he carried, it was a special case.
"It's just a coincidence, you don't have to worry." Zhang Baihua glanced at him and knew that he was obviously a little scared, so he said: "If it's okay, go to bed early at night, we have to hurry tomorrow, remember to close the doors and windows." ”
This is the promise to protect him, Uncle Xu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss, I'll go back." ”
…… Actually, there is no need to be so early.
Zhang Baihua opened her mouth and still didn't say anything, and let him go.
She looked to the innermost room in the corridor to the right. (To be continued.) )
