Chapter 38 Deliberately making things difficult

When Mingyue returned to the dormitory, Nalan Meidai, Mo Yao and Dou Ruhua had already washed up and planned to go to bed.

"Mingyue, why did you come back so late? Mu Xiaotian was sent back at dinner, and it is said that Danmen's food is very good. Nangong Yurou walked up and asked with concern.

Dou Ruhua asked with gossip on her face, "What did Danmen arrange for you to do?" Is it to help Feng Dashen do things? Are you excited to see Feng Dashen? Oh, my idol. ”

Mo Yao looked at Mingyue carefully, saw her tired face, and asked suspiciously, "Mingyue, why are your clothes dirty like this?" The face is almost dirty into a big cat. Feng Dashen won't arrange for you to sweep the floor, right? ”

Mingyue hurriedly hid her frayed hands behind her and said embarrassedly: "It's about the same, anyway, it's just coolies." Is there anything to eat? Bring me some, I'm starving. ”

Nangong Yurou hurriedly brought over the pastries she bought last time in Jinlu City: "There are still some pastries, you will eat some of them." Didn't Mu Xiaotian say that Danmen had arranged a sumptuous dinner? ”

Mingyue finished eating the four pastries in one go, and drank another bowl of water, only then did she feel better.

As soon as she looked up, she found several pairs of eyes staring at her with concern, and couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe, I'm so hungry, and my appearance is indeed a little ugly." ”

"Mingyue, your hands are all worn out and swollen like this. What did Feng Chengcheng arrange for you to do? Nangong Yurou asked, "Don't tell me he asked you to move stones." ”

Mingyue shook her head, her face darkened, and she said embarrassedly: "I'm scrubbing the shelves today, which is similar to moving stones." Mingyue whispered: "Chief Sun Qinglai said that Danmen has never accepted female disciples, and persuaded me to retreat despite the difficulties. ”

Mo Yao was so angry that she slapped the table and said loudly: "It's just too deceitful!" Everyone knows that the academy disciples recruited by the elders are all candidates for future inner disciples, and Sun Qinglai actually arranged for you to do rough work for the inferior disciples of the outer sect, isn't this a dog's eye looking down on people? ”

Nangong Yurou and Dou Ruhua also said: "Yes, Mingyue, you don't want to go to Danmen at all." Your medical skills are so good, and your immortal power is also one of the best among the disciples of the academy, so you will definitely be able to become an inner disciple of the medicine sect. ”

Mingyue remembered that Nalan Meidai bought her with one million silver, shook her head, and said firmly: "No, I must not give up, giving up halfway is even more despised." At the beginning, I chose to take the Dantong selection exam, and no matter how hard and tired I was, I had to persevere. ”

Nangong Yurou and Mo Yao glanced at each other, Mo Yao patted Mingyue's shoulder and comforted: "Okay, we support you, remember to take care of yourself in Danmen." If you are wronged, you must tell us and rest early. ”

Mingyue slept until the morning exercise bell rang, and on the way to morning exercise, she met Nalan Meidai and Jiang Yiyi.

Jiang Yiyi sneered: "How is Danmen? It's comfortable not to have to cultivate in the academy, right? I heard that Danmen has arranged for you to do rough work that only low-grade outer disciples can do, which is quite in line with your humble status. ”

Mingyue didn't bother to pay attention to her, and when she was about to run over, she heard Nalan Meidai laugh contemptuously: "Yiyi, what others say is also the future inner disciple of the Danmen, don't talk to people like this." ”

Jiang Yiyi laughed mockingly: "Inner disciple? Just her? Don't insult my IQ anymore......"

Mingyue ran away, and heard Jiang Yiyi's deliberate loud ridicule.

Mingyue looked at the blue sky, gritted her teeth, and strengthened her determination to persevere.

After breakfast the next day, Mingyue and Mu Xiaotian were once again picked up by Senior Brother Luo Jiajin to Danmen in the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred, and continued to scrub the shelves of medicinal herbs.

"Why can't you even wipe the medicine shelf? What a rice bucket. Come on, here, here, here, here, all redo for me, redo it! Sun Qinglai stood aside and cursed, until Mingyue carried dozens of buckets of water back and forth, wiped the same shelf more than a dozen times, wiped it until the figure was visible, and the rag was torn.

Sun Qinglai carefully inspected the shelves that Mingyue had wiped, and couldn't wait to take out a lamp to shine on every corner, he pointed to a slightly dusty place and scolded: "This place has not been wiped clean, don't you have eyes?" I can't do this thing well, and I still want to enter my Danmen? You haven't been able to wipe the shelves here for half a day today, so don't have dinner. It's so stupid that it's not as good as a pig or a dog. ”

Mingyue looked at Sun Qinglai's thunderous appearance speechlessly, and comforted herself in her heart: "Grit your teeth and pass, Mingyue, you must hold on." ”

She looked at her ten fingers. Ten fingers were grinding bloody, ten fingers connected to her heart, she endured the pain in her heart, and slowly walked to the well outside the warehouse to fetch water.

Fortunately, Mingyue's wound healed much faster than ordinary people since childhood, and after a few hours, the wound on her finger had healed to a lot, but it still hurt when she touched the water.

There was a bitterness in her heart, and she suddenly remembered that sunny morning, when the ugly young man had roasted a hare with her in the woods. She remembered that they had rescued a puppy named "Xiaobai", who had nine tails and a pair of extremely beautiful fox eyes. Later, when she read more books, she realized that it was a rare nine-tailed fox that had long been extinct in the world, not a puppy.

Mingyue didn't know how long she had been busy, it was getting dark, and when the time had come, she straightened up her sore body and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Sun Qinglai had already gone to dinner with the boy, and no one brought her food, Mingyue felt hungry and weak.

"Mingyue girl....." When Mingyue was bowing her head to wipe the shelf, the boy came to Fu and walked in while looking around, and called her in a low voice. Laifu blushed and panicked, took out two hot steamed buns from his arms and stuffed them into her hands and said, "I took advantage of Mr. Sun's absence to secretly give it to you, eat it quickly." He told us not to bring you dinner today, so don't be surprised. ”

Mingyue took the hot steamed bun, looked at Fu's blushing face, and said "thank you" gratefully. Rifle smiled and nodded, turned and disappeared into the night.

After Mingyue finished eating the steamed buns, she felt that she was not so tired. It seems that not all people in this world are so indifferent, and there are still many good people.

Mingyue thought that she would scrub the shelves of the herbal medicine warehouse for more than ten days, but on the third day, Sun Qinglai sent her to another place to "exercise" on the grounds that she was "not qualified for the tasks assigned by Danmen".

On the third day, as soon as Mingyue arrived at Danmen, Sun Qinglai personally brought Mingyue to the mountain behind Danmen, pointed to a noisy construction site and said to her: "From now on, you will do it here, don't be lazy and slippery." Of course, you don't want to do it can leave Danmen at any time. ”

Mingyue looked around, only to find that there was smoke and dust here, and many low-grade outer disciples were chiseling stones and moving bricks here, expanding a house and temple in the back mountain.

The overgrown ground next to it was piled with one-meter-long and half-meter-thick hewn stone bricks, and the disciples were struggling to transport the stone bricks onto a wheelbarrow with their sleeves, which they then used to transport the stone bricks to the construction office.

For the first time, these disciples saw a woman being sent to the construction office, and they all stopped and watched curiously. Only inner disciples who have committed crimes, or outer disciples who have no power or power, will be relegated to this place to do manual work and carry out physical "cultivation".

A man who looked like a foreman saw Sun Qinglai bring a young girl over from a distance, he was stunned, and hurriedly trotted over and saluted respectfully: "Zhang Shan greets Mr. Sun, what kind of wind blew your old man's house." ”

Sun Qinglai touched his beard and said proudly: "Well, this is Danmen's newly acquired Dantong Mingyue, who came here to experience training because he was not qualified for the tasks assigned by Danmen. You arrange some work for her, such as chiseling stones and moving bricks. Young people are pampered, how can they succeed without exercising. ”

"This ......" Zhang Shan looked Mingyue up and down, and saw that she was still young, beautiful as a flower, with thin arms and legs, and her body had not yet grown, how could she do these clumsy jobs? He didn't know how this little junior sister of Mingyue offended Manager Sun and made him so deliberately difficult.

Zhang Shan said in embarrassment: "Senior Sister Mingyue is so young, there doesn't seem to be anything suitable for her to do here." ”

Sun Qinglai threatened: "Isn't it quite suitable for her to move bricks, and if you gossip about it, be careful that I remove you as an overseer." ”

Zhang Shan was taken aback, and then realized that he had angered Sun Qinglai and didn't have his own good fruit to eat, so he quickly lowered his head and smiled: "Yes, yes, let's arrange it for the small one." ”

There are many disciples of Shushan Xianmen, and the inner disciples are the proud sons of Shushan Xianmen, the future pillars and mainstays of Shushan. However, there are one or two hundred disciples in each academy session, and only a dozen or twenty academy disciples are selected by each elder sect to become the inner disciples of the Shushan Immortal Sect in each session, and the rest of the disciples can only become the outer disciples of the Shushan Immortal Sect in the end.

The outer disciples of Shushan Xianmen are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and those with family background or good qualifications have returned to the family or have been sent by Shushan Xianmen to run the business of Shushan Xianmen. These outer disciples who were coolies, who entered the Shushan Immortal Cultivation Academy with a trace of luck, because of their mediocre qualifications and no family background, after five years of cultivation in the academy, the immortal power did not reach the upper immortal realm, and finally they could only become the low-level outer disciples of the elders of the Shushan Immortal Gate, usually doing rough work and miscellaneous work, relying on the supply of pills and herbs from the Shushan Immortal Gate every month to cultivate the immortal power, in addition, the Shushan Immortal Gate can also give these outer disciples a generous salary every month, and they will send this rich salary home, which is enough for their families to live a well-off life. This is also an important reason why the low-level outer disciples of Shushan Xianmen would rather stay in Shushan Xianmen to do miscellaneous work as coolies than leave Shushan Xianmen.

These low-level outer disciples have no power or power, they belong to the unified management of the elder sects, and those with better qualifications can cultivate to the upper immortal realm by luck, and they can be sent to a certain place to manage the affairs of the immortal sect or promote the inner disciples; Those with poor qualifications may only be able to stay in the elders and do menial work for the rest of their lives.

Under Sun Qinglai's watchful gaze, Zhang Shan stubbornly called over a tall and thin young man and ordered: "Lin Tian, come over and bring Miss Mingyue and teach her how to carry bricks and stones with a cart." ”

The tall and thin young man ran over from a distance, and he was stunned when he saw Mingyue. He introduced himself shyly: "Hello, my name is Lin Tian. Let's go, I'll take you over there and teach you how to carry bricks and stones. Lin Tian looked to be about twenty years old, and his smile was shy and warm, very sunny.

Mingyue followed her to the place where the bricks and stones were placed, and Lin Tian demonstrated how to lift a huge stone and said, "I'll teach you how to use immortal power to lift the bricks and stones first." You see, first hold the stone with both hands, then use the immortal power in your body in your arms, slowly stand up, use the immortal power on your arms and waist and abdomen again, and then put the masonry in the cart. Be careful not to use too much force, otherwise it will not only flash your waist, but also break the masonry. ”

Lin Tian first personally demonstrated how to carry a few stones, but seeing that Mingyue still couldn't transport them, he helped her carry them in.

Sun Qinglai shouted: "Lin Tian, you can't do things for her, these things must be done by her personally." ”

Lin Tian responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, the little one knows." ”

After transporting a few stones with the help of Lin Tian, Mingyue also slowly mastered her strength, and when she carried a stone larger than her to the cart, she felt that her waist was about to break, this was really not a place where ordinary people could stay.

Mingyue began a life of cultivating immortals in a bitter and tiring and brick-moving style among the men.

Although Zhang Shan felt that it was inappropriate for her, a beautiful and frail girl, to go to the construction site to work as coolies and move bricks with a group of inferior outer disciples, this little girl seemed to have offended the chief manager Sun who was here to cover the sky with one hand, and he was forced by the obscenity of Sun Qinglai, the chief manager of Danmen, so he had to arrange work for Mingyue.

Mingyue has to be like a man every day, rolling up her sleeves under the scorching sun, sweating like rain to carry huge bricks and stones into the wheelbarrow, and then using all her strength to push the wheelbarrow along the rugged mountain road to the construction site, Lin Tian will carefully help or guide her on the side.

At the end of the day, Mingyue was so tired that her back hurt, her arms were so sore that she didn't even have the strength to hold the bowl and chopsticks, and the palms of her hands were worn out, healing, healing, and wearing, and the boss was cocooned.

She also has to endure Sun Qinglai's daily guidance and scolding. The morning and evening meals are the coarse tea and light meals of the inferior outer disciples, but they can also be satisfied.

In her spare time, she would also chat with Lin Tian, and learned that he was a disciple of the last Immortal Cultivation Academy, his parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by a casual cultivator who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and he loved medicine since he was a child. When he learned that Mingyue also liked medicine, he was very surprised.

Although Mingyue worked extremely hard, with Lin Tian's enthusiastic help, she chatted with Lin Tian while working, but she didn't feel particularly difficult.
