Chapter 16: A Wave of Unsettled Waves (1)
Speaking of Yang Guo, at this time he had just come to a courtyard wall, and he planned to climb in from here.
This is the outer wall of the Quanzhen Sect's kitchen courtyard, which is where all the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect eat on weekdays. The rivers and lakes are sinister, in order to prevent someone from poisoning them, so this place has always been heavily guarded, and there are disciples on duty every night.
However, this is before. Outsiders don't know, but Yang Guo knows. Yang Guo has been here for half a year, and he has a clear understanding of the doorway.
One of the five precepts of the Quanzhen School is that you can't eat meat and fish, let alone drink alcohol. Vegetarian meals are required for three meals a day, and there is a time limit.
The older Taoist priests are okay, and when they are older, they naturally have a certain amount of Taoism and can abide by the rules and precepts. At least on the surface, besides, they come and go freely and unfettered on weekdays, and no one can control if they want to go out and steal something.
But the young Taoist priest couldn't. The age is still young, the Tao is naturally not enough, the homework of the Taoist on weekdays is heavy, there are still evening classes after the morning class, and you have to learn swordsmanship and practice formations in the middle, how can you stand it with only three meals of vegetarian food a day?
In addition, when Yang Guo was in the Quanzhen faction, he was not treated by Zhao Zhijing. He deliberately supported Yang Guo to do this and that on weekdays, and when he was done, he had already finished eating.
Originally, there would be some leftovers left, so that Yang Guo would not go hungry. But because when Guo Jing took Yang Guo up the mountain at that time, he had no choice but to beat many disciples of the Quanzhen Sect and offended many people, Guo Jing was not clear about these twists and turns, and patted his ass and left, but Yang Guo suffered.
These Taoist priests didn't dare to have any opinions on Guo Jing, but they dared to spill their anger on Yang Guo, and they didn't even leave leftovers for Yang Guo when they had the opportunity, so in the first days, Yang Guo basically starved every day.
But then Yang Guo discovered a secret, in the nights when it was his turn to patrol the night, there was originally a disciple who accompanied him, but Zhao Zhijing deliberately angered Yang Guo, so he arranged for that disciple to do other things, to put it bluntly, it was actually to arrange for that disciple to rest, but Yang Guo wanted such an opportunity, he took advantage of the night patrol alone, deliberately deviated from the arranged route, and went to the kitchen near the circle.
Yang Guo found that in the middle of the night, many disciples came in and out here, but he didn't see the disciple in charge of the wheel guarding the kitchen to appear. He continued to observe for several days, and did everything possible to inquire about the other disciples, and finally figured out why he didn't see the disciples who guarded the kitchen courtyard.
I have to say here that Yang Guo, the cheap ancestor, Qiu Chuji, deserves his fame, and although the seven sons of Quanzhen have their own shortcomings, they are not bad people. Ever since Qiu Chuji became the head of the school, he relaxed his night patrols of the kitchen courtyard, suggesting that his disciples could open one eye and close one eye when they were on duty at night.
Because he knew that some young disciples who were new to the school were still shallow in their cultivation, and they had heavy schoolwork on weekdays, and they would inevitably be hungry at night, so he couldn't bear to let these disciples go hungry every night, so he thought of this method.
However, Qiu Chuji's hard work allowed the disciples below to take advantage of the loophole. He didn't care about these trivial things on weekdays, and naturally he didn't know that his arrangement actually exposed the Quanzhen Sect to danger.
Qiu's original intention was to let these rotating disciples turn a blind eye to the disciples in the sect, but the patrol to the outside world at night could not be relaxed. However, these rotating disciples closed their eyes and slept lazily in the gatehouse of the kitchen every night, completely forgetting the task of patrolling.
