Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dilemma
After discussing tomorrow's schedule with Xiangxiang, Mu Wan picked up the clothes by the pool and said with a smile: "Let's go, Xiangxiang, look at our new house!" ”
Xiangxiang cheered: "Okay! With that, she jumped onto the big bluestone and drew a finger around herself.
Immediately, there was a "ding", and a green aura fell from the top of her head to her heels. In the blink of an eye, she was dressed.
This time, she changed to a new style, wearing a narrow sleeved green gauze dress. The shoulder-length hair was draped like this, and only the broken hair on the temples was twisted into two small strands and tied back to the back of the head. On both sides of the head is a golden peony silk flower the size of a baby's fist, and two foot-long light gauze streamers of the same color hang from the silk flower, which is shining with gold and is very gorgeous.
"Is it pretty?" After Xiangxiang dressed up, she was very stinky and beautiful in Daqingshi, carrying a gauze skirt and turning around.
Mu Wan also got dressed, and said with a smile while cleaning up the array: "It's good-looking." "It's just that after soaking for an hour, the spirit stone in the array eye has not been exhausted, but only cracked a thin crack. I can use it again next time.
Xiangxiang took the water of the pool as a mirror, and looked at the left and right on the edge of the pool. The fleshy little mouth has never been closed.
Mu Wan stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, put away the four array flags, and when he saw this, he urged: "Let's go!" I thought: Xiangxiang loves flowers so much, she will definitely like the flowers planted by her uncle very much.
Sure enough, Xiangxiang saw the purple and red flowers, and shouted excitedly from a distance of ten feet: "Ah, it's so beautiful!" Xiangxiang likes it the most! As he spoke, he pulled out a string of afterimages and flew over.
This one pulls over. Glance. The one is under the nose and sniffed. Chubby girl burrowed into the flowers, smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth, she couldn't put it down.
Mu Wan smiled, walked to the corridor in front of the house, and sat cross-legged.
By this time, night had fallen. The moon is bright and the stars are scarce. The evening breeze is gentle, and the fragrance of flowers is gusting.
She couldn't help but sigh: "What a fairy-like day!" "The hard work of months has dissipated in the wind.
When Xiangxiang had enough, Mu Wan took her to visit the furnishings in the new house.
Xiangxiang is the first time to see a carved bed. After the exclamation. touched the pattern on the bed with his chubby hand, and his eyes were shining: "Sister, this is the boudoir mentioned in the book, right?" It's really fragrant. It's a pity that there are no bright colors in the house......"
What a fragrant smell! Mu Wan is full of black lines. Quickly divert the topic: "Hmm." Fragrant. If you like, you can sleep in the big bed with me in the future. "The carved bed was six feet wide and seven feet long. Even a few more fragrances can sleep. What's more, Xiangxiang's routine is the opposite of that of humans, and she sleeps during the day.
Unexpectedly, Xiangxiang shook her head: "Xiangxiang still has to go back to her body to sleep for at least an hour and a half every day." Also, Xiang Xiang likes the flowers outside. At night, when my sister was sleeping, Xiangxiang practiced on the corridor outside. In this way, no one wants to disturb my sister. "Suddenly, the master has an extra family business, and as a spiritual pet, he naturally has to help the master guard it.
Little Nizi couldn't be more caring! Mu Wan pulled her over and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang rest assured, there is a mountain protection formation at the foot of the mountain, and no one dares to come in without my permission." ”
Xiangxiang said very seriously: "Sister, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." We're still good at having multiple hearts. ”
That's right. Mu Wan nodded in agreement.
After a busy day, tiredness hit, she yawned and went to bed. And Xiangxiang was in good spirits at the moment, said goodnight to her, and walked out of the room and went to the corridor to breathe in the aura of heaven and earth.
A good night's sleep, no dreams until dawn.
Mu Wan woke up, performed a dust removal technique on his body, and walked out of the house quickly to the corridor.
Xiangxiang was still spitting, opened her eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister, good morning!" ”
Mu Wan nodded, replied "good morning", and also sat down cross-legged on the corridor and began to practice luck.
Although the aura here is even richer than in the east wing of Wei Chi's predecessor's house, she can't be greedy, so she stopped after walking for a big week.
Xiangxiang finished a little before her. I don't know where the little girl got a fist-sized black clay pot, and she is patiently collecting the morning dew on the petals at the moment.
Seeing that Mu Wan was looking at herself, she shook the clay pot in her hand and said with a smile: "Sister, the dew on the petals is the most fragrant in the morning, Xiangxiang collects them all and makes tea for my sister!" Everyone in the book loves to drink. ”
In her previous life, Mu Wan did not do this kind of thing. In the boudoir circle of the capital, it is recognized as an elegant thing to collect Chaolu to make tea.
Actually, it didn't work.
Hmm, Xiangxiang changed her outfit again. Now, she wears a pink arrow-sleeved riding outfit. The hair was tied up and combed into a falling bun on the top of the head. Two golden peonies are combined into one, and the hairpin is on the right back side of the bun. The golden one is gone, replaced by a few strings of golden tassels, hanging down lightly, and gently shaking with the swing of the head, which is both gorgeous and playful.
In the morning light, a beautiful little girl is in the flowers, like a pink butterfly, fluttering to collect flower dew.
It's so pleasing to the eye! Mu Wan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and laughed from the bottom of her heart.
Soon, Xiangxiang was busy. Shaking the small clay pot in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly: "God, why is it so little!" ”
Mu Wan smiled: "How much dew can there be on the petals?" You collect it slowly. It's time for us to go to HR. ”
Last night, she just discussed it with Xiangxiang. In the morning, I first went to the human affairs office to hire someone, and then went to Waimenfang Market to buy Linggu seeds. If the farm workers don't bring their own farm tools, they have to buy some farm tools and come back.
"Okay." Xiangxiang accepted the small black clay pot, dodged into the space, and said with her divine sense, "Sister, Xiangxiang is ready!" ”
So, let's go!
The monk's memories are excellent and unforgettable. Mu Wan had seen the map of the outer gate at the registration office before, so she naturally knew where the top ten places of the outer gate were located.
Sacrificing the sword, she went straight to the human affairs office.
The human affairs office is located in the middle of the outer gate, only about 200 miles away from her treasure mountain. With the speed of her flying sword, it would take more than a quarter of an hour to arrive.
The Human Resources Office is located in a canyon. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, a three-storey octagonal building with eaves and arches stands tall among the flowers and trees. Much more generous than at the check-in desk.
Mu Wan lowered the flying sword and walked into the building.
On the walls of the hall are many pale yellow bamboo plaques tied with red silk ropes. Each sign has a line of black letters written on it. Mu Wan looked closely, and it was full of names: Li Ergou, Wang Haozi...... Usually monks don't take such vulgar names, so these are supposed to be peasant workers.
Facing the gate, there is a long black case. Behind the case, a young man in a wide-sleeved green robe was reading at the desk.
Mu Wan saw at a glance his cultivation - the seventh layer of qi refining.
She walked up to the long case, clenched her fists and asked, "May I ask senior brother, I want to hire some agricultural workers, do I want to find you?" ”
The young man lifted his eyelids. glanced at her. Continue to bow your head and write: "Yes." ”
"I ......"
However, before Mu Wan finished speaking, he interrupted with a "tsk": "Senior brother came a little late. Now is the time for the third season to be planted. The peasants and laborers have been employed, and now there are no idle workers. ”
Thousands of acres of spiritual fields. There are no words for peasant workers. How to plant! Mu Wan's headache: "That ......"
The young man didn't give her a chance to let go at all. While not even raising his eyelids, he continued to write, and said impatiently: "Senior brother, come back in ten days." ”
Ten days have passed. The time of farming has long passed! Seeing that the other party was cold, and didn't even bother to give himself a look, Mu Wan opened her mouth and swallowed the words in her mouth. Early in the morning, she touched a gray nose, and she didn't think there was a lot of fire in her heart.
At this time, a middle-aged female cultivator wearing the green robe of an outer disciple walked in from outside.
Mu Wan glanced at her, refining qi at the fourth level. According to the rules of the sect, this middle-aged female cultivator had to call her "senior sister". Yes, she just nodded, and said hello.
The middle-aged female cultivator couldn't see her cultivation, so she hugged her fists and said "Senior Brother", and then walked to the front of the long case, hugged her fists and smiled: "Senior Brother Chen, please help me pick twenty peasant workers." As she spoke, she presented two spirit stones in both hands.
The young man put down the pen in his hand, accepted the spirit stone, and said, "Identity jade card." ”
The middle-aged nun handed over her identity jade plate with both hands.
There is a three-inch square white jade platform on several cases. Senior Brother Chen took it over and placed the front of the identity jade plate on the white jade platform.
There was a flash of inspiration on the white jade platform, and four small vermilion characters of "Liu Yan of the outer door" appeared.
Senior Brother Chen threw the jade plaque back to the middle-aged female cultivator, pointed to the wall, and said, "The ones on the east side are good, you can pick them yourself." The old rule, ten people have a spirit stone. ”
"Yes, thank you, Senior Brother Chen." The middle-aged female cultivator ran to the east wall with a smile, and after a while, she took off twenty bamboo plaques, took out two spirit stones, and put them on top of the long case together.
The young man glanced at it, and saw that the number was correct, so he played a trick on the pile of bamboo cards, and said, "In three quarters of an hour, the person will be delivered." You take your name tag and wait in the back of the building. As he spoke, he picked out the two spirit stones, "dang long", and threw them into the big red box on the table.
"Yes." The middle-aged nun put away the bamboo sign and walked into the small black oil door at the back of the hall.
Mu Wan saw it clearly on the side, and said secretly: Is it because I didn't give the spirit stone just now?
With that in mind, she stepped forward again.
As a result, as before, before she could speak, Senior Brother Chen waved his sleeves impatiently: "No! No more idle work! Come back in 10 days! ”
Mu Wan was extremely angry, pointed to the thousands of bamboo plaques hanging on the four walls, and said, "There are obviously so many!" ”
Senior Brother Chen snorted: "No matter how much I can't give you!" ”
Mu Wan was puzzled: "Why?" ”
Senior Brother Chen sighed at this time, looked at her, and said, "Mu Wan, right?" New here yesterday, right? ”
Mu Wan was shocked: obviously he had also checked the identity jade plate, how did he know his sister's name and origin?
Senior Brother Chen didn't dare to offend her, put on a helpless look, and said: "Senior Brother Mu, I am also acting on orders, please leave here quickly, don't embarrass my little outer door disciple here, okay?" ”
Sister is new to here, which fairy did she offend! Mu Wan frowned: "Ordered? Whose order did Senior Brother Chen take? ”
Senior Brother Chen refused to say anything, and threw his hand at her again and again: "Senior Brother Mu, don't embarrass me again, come back in ten days." ”
"I'm angry! I'm angry! Xiangxiang shouted in the space, "Which one is so vicious!" ”
Seeing this, Mu Wan knew that she couldn't ask anything anymore, so she helplessly hugged her fists at Senior Brother Chen and said, "Farewell." "The whole heart is like falling into an ice cellar.
Walking out of the human affairs office, it was clear that the sun was shining brightly and the autumn was crisp, but she only felt a cool breeze on her back, and she couldn't help but shiver - the name and origin of the person behind her, Senior Brother Chen didn't even dare to mention it. What does this mean? The people behind it must not be idle people.
Who is my sister hindering!
After the incense passed, he comforted him with his divine sense in the space: Sister, don't be like those villains who can't see the light. Let's go buy some Spirit Valley first. Forget about those inferior spiritual fields and medium spiritual fields, this time only the upper grade spiritual fields will be planted. It's only about 100 acres, and Xiangxiang can be planted alone.
Mu Wan sighed, and also said with her divine sense: Don't worry, go to the mission office again.
Uncle Shi told her that the outer disciples had to gather at least thirty sect contribution points every year. Otherwise, you will be fined as a miner for three months. And she entered the sect after July, according to the regulations, before the end of the year, she must make up fifteen contribution points. At that time, if the contribution value is not enough, it will also be fined as a miner for two months.
I hope the people behind it don't go too far! Mu Wan clenched her fists, sacrificed her sword, and went straight to the mission.
The mission office is less than 100 miles away from the human affairs office. Soon, Mu Wan flew to the sky above the mission office.
The mission office is located on the top of the mountain, and it is a four-way tiled compound. The courtyard is full of ancient trees, and the courtyard is deep.
On the shadow wall of the front yard, there is a line of vermilion lacquer block letters--schematic diagram of the task office of the outer door and the process of receiving the task.
Mu Wan tilted her head and read carefully. There are two kinds of tasks in the task department, one is the task issued by the sect, and the other is the private bounty task. Do the first type of task, you can get contribution points. And if you complete a task, you can get a prize from the task publisher. What kind of prize is up to the publisher, and there are no hard and fast rules.
Both quests are also not picked up in the same place. Receive the sect task and go to the main hall of the front yard; The bounty tasks are all posted in the West Wing.
Mu Wan came for the contribution value, so naturally she went to the main hall.
Bypassing the shadow wall and following the blue brick corridor in the middle, she quickly entered the main hall.
The layout of the hall is similar to that of the Human Resources Office. The walls on all four sides were also covered with things. However, instead of pale yellow bamboo signs, there are some slips of paper of different lengths and widths. It was densely covered with small letters.
Facing the gate, there is also a black long case. There was no one after the case. A middle-aged male cultivator wearing a wide-sleeved black-edged robe was standing under the west wall, holding a stack of notes and sticking them to the wall.
Mu Wan couldn't see his cultivation. In other words, this is an uncle in charge of the foundation building period.
She walked over, made a salute, and said, "Senior Uncle, the disciple has come to receive the sect task." ”
Only then did the housekeeper turn around and glance at her. Raising his eyebrows slightly, he pointed to the east wall and said, "The fifth layer of qi refining, go to the first-grade task over there to choose." ”
Mu Wan frowned - the process on the shadow wall is very clear, and the tasks of the sect are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D according to the degree of difficulty. Among them, Grade A is the most difficult. In the process, it is clearly suggested that non-late-stage Qi refining disciples should not easily receive Class A tasks. Because according to the sect, after receiving the task, if you can't complete it, you will be fined three days of hard labor, not to mention the contribution value of three times.
At the same time, it is also clearly written in the process: the disciples do what they can for the tasks of the four levels. However, there is not a single sentence in the whole text that stipulates what level of tasks must be given for what kind of cultivation.
Mu Wan is not a real six-year-old child, how can she not understand the famous hall here? Immediately, he snorted coldly in his heart, and said secretly: The hands of the people behind them are really long! (To be continued......)
PS: Outside the window, the autumn rain continues.
A certain peak looked out the window for a long time, not squinting.
Seeing this, Xiangxiang walked over curiously, grabbed a pair of fat paws on the windowsill, tilted her head and asked, "Dada, what are you looking at?" Why don't you go to codeword? ”
A certain peak stretched out a finger to his lips and shouted: "Silence, a certain peak is watching the autumn rain." ”
Xiangxiang was puzzled: "What's so beautiful about the autumn rain?" ”
A certain Feng smiled mysteriously: "It's about the follow-up story, don't say it!"
