Chapter 8: Poor treatment
The festival is very boring, it's nothing more than the head of the house coming out to say something like that he wants to make a big difference. Then he thanked all the friends for their appreciation, hinting that in the future, the Cloud Sword Sect would also be able to produce its own elixirs, and there would be many high-level monks.
Yu Xiudan had already changed his clothes, and although the door clothes he used to wear all day long were also navy blue, they only had white patterns, which were a little brighter than the black patterns of ordinary qi refining disciples.
Now I dress magnificently, I wear two layers directly, the silver edge on it is shiny, and I feel a little more deterrent than before.
The process of the ceremony went smoothly, and Lu Xiaoding did not continue to cause trouble. Qinghua Zhenjun was invited away by a peak master, they were acquaintances, they had traveled together when they were young, and they just took this opportunity to catch up with the past.
After the ceremony, Yu Xiudan called the two of them to a place where no one was outside and admonished, "Yaoxiang, keep an eye on Xiaoding, this time I will go to retreat, and I will be able to come out next year." Senior Brother Lu Mu helps take care of the Medicineless Hall, and will recruit a lot of disciples, and the Medicineless Hall is about to develop. You two are my medicine boys, so you don't have to worry about the affairs of the medicine hall in the first place, but now that someone takes over you, you can rest for the time being. ”
"Master, I want to take Xiao Ding to Zhichu Hall to listen to the school." Lu Yaoxiang looked at him and spoke very seriously with his eyes.
Yu Xiudan hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Your qualifications are too low now, and the number of spiritual veins is too small, according to the rules of Zhichutang, they will not accept you." When I come out of retreat, I will refine some elixir for you, and open up the spiritual veins before I go." ”
"Yes." It seems that he can't go in advance, Lu Yaoxiang can only respond, the master has just advanced to the Jindan stage, and it is not good to make too many requests. When he comes out of retreat and takes over the Wuyao Hall, he will have real power, and this kind of trivial matter should be no problem at that time.
However, she was not sure in her heart, who knew what would happen when Lu Dao came out of retreat, if she only let the master concentrate on alchemy and developing Danjutsu, then the Wuyao Hall would not be in charge of Lu Daojun all the time.
Thinking that Master's favorite thing in his life is alchemy, this matter is really uncertain. If the head said that he would find Danfang and Lingcao for him, and don't worry about miscellaneous things, he would agree immediately. Match him with a few more qualified and clever medicine boys, and the master will forget about himself and Xiaoding.
"Senior sister, what are you thinking, Master is already gone." Lu Xiaoding pulled her clothes, leaned in front of her and asked curiously.
Lu Yaoxiang realized that the master had already left, so he said, "Xiaoding, come with me to the Menzhong Market." ”
"Great, you can buy something, I didn't use the crystal beans that my senior sister gave me last time. I'm going to buy windmills, colored balls, and little wooden figures that can fight. Hearing that he was going to the market, Lu Xiaoding immediately became excited, and counted what he wanted to buy.
Lu Yaoxiang stretched out her hand in front of her, looked at it with her eyes and said, "Xiao Ding, show me your crystal bean." ”
"Hmm." Lu Xiaoding happily took out a small purse from his arms, shook out a few colored stones from it, and found the only crystal bean in it and handed it to her.
Seeing that she still had a small stone on her body, Lu Yaoxiang said speechlessly, "What are you doing with the stone on your body?" ”
"Senior sister, don't you think they're beautiful?" Lu Xiaoding picked up a stone and squinted his eyes to meet the sun, "Look at the sun, it will reveal a beautiful color, this must be a treasure." ”
Lu Yaoxiang took the crystal bean in his hand directly, and then walked forward with his hands behind his back, "There are many such treasures by the stream, I will take you to find them another day, there are many more beautiful than these." ”
"Great, I'll be sure to pick up a lot of them." Thinking that he could pick up a lot of beautiful stones, Lu Xiaoding happily followed, forgetting about Jingdou.
The two didn't go to other markets, and went back to Zhishangfeng directly. Each peak has nearly a thousand disciples, and usually there are some things on hand, and it is too troublesome to get them to the bazaar in the door, and the things that are not very valuable are thrown in the small bazaars of each peak, which is cheaper than the senior brothers of the same peak.
All the beginner disciples are in the Zhichu Palace, and they don't have anything on hand in the first year, but in the second year, it's different. Sometimes I will follow the senior brothers who know Shangfeng to go to the outer mountains to practice, and when I am lucky, I will get some things back.
Although the library is not yet open to them, there are always people who are anxious to learn other exercises as soon as possible. The senior brothers will take out the exercises they have eliminated and sell them, and they will take up space anyway, so it is better to sell them to the junior brothers for crystal beans.
"Senior sister, it's not that the exercises can't be passed on, they take out the exercises and sell them, isn't it the same?" Lu Xiaoding didn't understand, what is the difference between rumors and selling, they are all given to others.
Lu Yaoxiang whispered: "What I'm talking about is to learn the opinions and essence of others alone, and they will tell their own perceptions of the exercises, or give direct guidance. It's much better than throwing you a copy of the exercises, and there are some things you can't understand if no one explains them. ”
It turned out to be so complicated, Lu Xiaoding didn't understand, but nodded with a look of understanding, "Senior sister, you are only four years older than me, why do you know so many things?" ”
"It's simple, because you're stupid." Lu Yaoxiang said without thinking about it, it was also picked up by the master, but Xiao Ding was extremely stupid.
"Well, Senior Sister is much smarter than me. When I jumped down from the seventh-floor fire platform that day, I guess I thought about it, it was too powerful. Lu Xiaoding said thoughtfully, his tone was full of admiration, he was really heroic that day. I didn't fall to death, so it's smart.
Lu Yaoxiang paused for a moment, stared at her with the corner of her eyes, and then said coldly: "If you mention this matter again, I won't take you to pick up stones, but also paint on your ding." ”
"Don't, I won't say it, senior sister, don't paint on my ding, that thing is difficult to wash off." She was scared all of a sudden, and shook her hand vigorously not to be confused. Seeing that she was scared, Lu Yaoxiang forgot it.
The small bazaar is on the edge of the Luosentai of Zhishang Peak, and I don't know if it is not the right time to come, only a few disciples are here. Lu Xiaoding walked over and saw that more than 40 small bamboo tables were placed on the ground at random, but there were no people watching the stalls.
"It's like this every time, why have you never seen the stall owner there?" Lu Xiaoding squatted down at a low table, looking at the goods placed on it, looking for something he was interested in.
There are miscellaneous goods on each small table, with the price written on it, and a small bamboo tube standing next to it. The bamboo tube was simply forbidden by the stall owner, and if the prohibition was not opened, it could only enter and not exit.
Everyone sells bargains, and they are not afraid that someone will steal things and not give them to Jingdou, they are all brothers from the same door and peak, and no one will take advantage of this small advantage.
Lu Yaoxiang saw Lu Xiaoding pick up a small pebble from the ground, snapped into a bamboo tube, and then clapped his hands and laughed happily.
"It's fun, I'll throw another one." She picked up another pebble and pointed it at the small bamboo tube separated by five tables, wanting to throw it again.
"What are you doing, why are you doing such a boring thing!" Lu Yaoxiang rushed over with an arrow step, dragging her collar and pulling her back.
Lu Xiaoding was extremely depressed, "Senior sister, why do you look like an old man." ”
"Nonsense, be honest with me." If she hadn't stopped her, maybe she would have filled other people's bamboo tubes with stones, and those disciples would have to curse the dead when they came back.
There are no windmills, no colored balls, and little wooden people who can fight, just the fur and bones of demon beasts, and some low-level spirit grass. Lu Xiaoding followed lazily, and the stalls that didn't sell fun were really boring.
There are also exercises that have been flipped to the point that the pages of the book are fluffy, all of them are beginner swordsmanship or elementary exercises such as qi refining techniques, and the cheapest one also requires ten crystal beans. Lu Yaoxiang shook his head while reading, and flipped through several books without starting.
"Senior sister, let's buy the most basic one first, don't you know anything anyway?" Lu Xiaoding read it for a long time, and the titles of the exercises sold were almost the same, as long as the selected books looked new.
Lu Yaoxiang looked left and right, and saw that even the disciples just now had left, and after there was no one else around, she lowered her head close to her ear and whispered: "I have overheard the content of this, there is no need to buy these basic exercises, I just want to see if there are any swordsmanship." ”
"Huh!" Lu Xiaoding was taken aback, Senior Sister had already finished eavesdropping, these are five exercises. She took the opportunity to walk by the door and eavesdropped on all these exercises, so she wouldn't have been doing this kind of thing since she could remember.
"Don't make a fuss, you have to remember that when people say you're not qualified to do something, you can try it first. As long as it's something you really want to do, there's no reason to stop you, and of course be careful not to let anyone who opposes you find out. Of course, I'm not talking about doing bad things. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yaoxiang began to teach her some messy things again.
Lu Xiaoding studied very seriously, and she memorized everything. The senior sister taught her that when she was bullied, she had to take the lead and say that the black was white. You also have to put yourself in the position of the weak, and then take advantage of the gap between the other party and yourself to make everyone around you stand on your side.
She thinks this trick is very good, she doesn't know anything, she can't beat others if she wants to, and she pretends to be pitiful and anti-black all day long. This trick Lu Yaoxiang didn't work well, her face was too cold, and her attitude was very bad. On the contrary, Lu Xiaoding used it well, his innocent eyes, coupled with his cute appearance, became the best protection.
Of course, she never remembers these things, even if she makes others suffer, she will happily greet others the next day, which makes people hate it. For the sake of a little thing, who is embarrassed to deal with a person who lacks a soul, it is not easy to use a soul without a brain. It's not strange to say anything or do something out of the ordinary, but it's strange if it's really like an ordinary person.
"Then have you found exercises that you haven't eavesdropped?" Lu Xiaoding cares about this very much, if he can find it, he can become powerful if he buys it back.
Lu Yaoxiang said casually: "No, you didn't say that you want to refine the elixir, let's buy some spirit grass and go back." Having said that, her eyes were on a book of exercises, and the price of thirty crystal beans made her not want to pick it up and look at it. As long as she looks at it, she will definitely want to buy it, but she has saved it for more than ten years, and she has only saved fourteen crystal beans, and one of them is just got from Xiao Ding.
Thinking about it carefully, she felt that the treatment of the attendants of the Cloud Sword Gate was too low!
