Chapter 108: The Road of Diligence
There is still fate between people, Yan Liqiang first entered the Sword God Sect, among the four people he knew in the Discipline Academy, as soon as he entered, that Ma Liang looked at him unpleasantly, and the other three, the relationship with him was also relatively indifferent, and several people almost had no intersection except for knowing each other's names.
Ma Liang and the four of them are all from the branches of the Sword God Sect in various states, because of their excellent performance or various relationships, they came to the sect headquarters, and Yan Liqiang was directly with them as soon as he entered the Sword God Sect, plus Yan Liqiang was younger than them, Yan Liqiang almost had no common language with them, and what those people talked about the most together was what they had when they were in the branches of various states, and Yan Liqiang, who had no such experience, was naturally rejected by a few people when they were chatting hotly.
And Yan Liqiang came to the foot of Tianqiao Peak, and in just one day, he became familiar with Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng.
Because there is a person who can be scolded together-Huo Bin, and the experience of persecution together, the three of them quickly became one.
Of course, it is not only Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng who do chores in this small mountain col below Tianqiao Peak, but also a few of them are outer disciples who have been doing farm work here for a long time, and those outer disciples are all fifty or sixty years old, because they violated the precepts of the sect, they were locked up for decades one by one, and their martial arts were abolished, and then they were released when they were old, and they were left here by the Sword God Sect, and they did some farm work every day。
Although they are still wearing the gray clothes of the outer disciples, those few people are already old, and they can no longer practice any martial arts, their current life is completely no different from the old farmers in the mountains, and the small mountain col in front of them, the vegetable field and orchard, is all their world.
In addition to those old men, there are usually many outer disciples who are arranged to undertake some temporary chores in this mountain col, such as digging fields, loosening soil, fertilizing, watering, weeding, harvesting, picking, planting vegetables and other farm work, these farm work, as short as one or two days, more than three or five days, doing these farm work, for the disciples of the Sword God Sect, it is not only to serve the miscellaneous labor, but also to let the disciples get a little bit of groundwork, learn to understand a little thing, so that they will not become fools who are not diligent in the future.
People like Yan Liqiang, Gu Zexuan, and Zhao Huipeng, who have been left here for a long time, are the only three of them under the entire Tianqiao Peak.
Yan Liqiang worked hard for a day, and finally cleaned up the house where he lived, and at noon, he also went to a fang market in the Sword God Sect and bought himself a few sets of gray clothes worn by outer disciples, and then bought a little cheap cotton, linen, needlework, scissors, towels, porcelain cups, salt, toothbrushes and other daily toiletries......
By the way, Yan Liqiang also bought a small tick leak for timing, this small tick leak is also the most expensive of all things, using Yan Liqiang's more than two taels of silver, after buying these necessary things, Yan Liqiang's whole silver, there is only less than one tael left.
The rules in the Sword God Sect are strict, but it is not rigid and closed, this is also a small society, here, in addition to the most basic two sets of gray clothes, a sect disciple's identity card, and a free residence and two free meals a day, everything else has to be taken care of and prepared by themselves, if not, they have to pay their own money to trade and buy in the Fang Market in the sect.
In the Sword God Sect, the outer disciples, the inner disciples, and the elite disciples do not have any subsidies and income, the kind of thing that while learning the secret martial arts of the Sword God Sect, while also letting the Sword God Sect provide you with food and live for nothing and give you money, it is impossible to appear in this world, only when you reach the level of a personal disciple and have enough contributions to the Sword God Sect, you can receive ten taels of silver from the Sword God Sect every month, and if you can advance to the core disciples, you will have thirty taels of silver every month.
Therefore, in the Sword God Sect, in addition to the disciples of those wealthy families who do not worry about spending money, many disciples of the Sword God Sect have to cultivate within the sect while trying to find ways to make money - if you have no money on you, it will be difficult to move an inch even in the Sword God Sect.
This is also the reason why the deacon surnamed Huo in the Gray Clothes Hall likes silver.
After buying those things, Yan Liqiang seized the time and used half-baked needlework to make a mask, a turban, two pairs of gloves, two sleeves, and two overalls from the purchased fabric. Fortunately, his painting ability is good, and when he is processing those things, he only needs to spread the cloth on the table, draw the general appearance with charcoal, and then cut and sew it according to the pattern, and then he can basically use it.
That night, Yan Liqiang slept earlier than usual, he looked at the time that had been missed, and he fell asleep when it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
The next day, Yan Liqiang got up before four o'clock in the morning, and after Ma Li's washing, he didn't even practice the Yijin Washing Pulp Sutra, so he took the things he had prepared, went downstairs, and then picked up two wooden barrels downstairs, loaded cleaning tools in the wooden barrels, and left the small courtyard.
The sky was full of stars outside, and only the sound of insects and frogs chirping came from the mountain col, at this time, even the people who practiced in the morning had not gotten up, and the entire mountain road of the Sword God Sect was quiet.
With these things in hand, Yan Liqiang ran quickly towards Tianqiao Mountain.
Just halfway through the run, a cold snort appeared in Yan Liqiang's ear, "Stop, who's who?"
With the sound of cold drinking, a figure suddenly jumped down from a big tree on the side of the road like a flying leopard, and stood in front of Yan Liqiang with a bang, pointing at Yan Liqiang with a long sword.
The person who fell in front of Yan Liqiang was in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite heroic, wearing a black swordsman uniform representing the children of the inner sect, staring at Yan Liqiang with shining eyes.
When this person just fell, Yan Liqiang was also taken aback, but after seeing this person's outfit clearly, Yan Liqiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had met a disciple who was on duty at night on Tianqiao Peak.
"Senior brother, I'm a serving disciple, and I'm about to clean the toilet on Tianqiao Peak?"
"You said you were a disciple of the deacon, but you have a waist card?" The man did not relax at all, staring at Yan Liqiang.
"The waist card is in my arms, I'll take it out and show it to you, senior brother!"
"Don't dig with your right hand, dig with your left hand, move slowly, don't let me misunderstand, otherwise the sword in my hand won't have eyes......" The man said coldly.
I didn't expect this person to be so cautious, Yan Liqiang didn't dare to make any jokes, he slowly took out his waist card with his left hand, and in the moonlight, let the person see it clearly, and saw that the person put the long sword pointed at him into the sheath, so he put the waist card away.
The man glanced at the various cleaning tools that Yan Liqiang was holding in his hand, and frowned slightly, "Why did you come to clean so early?"
Yan Liqiang smiled, "I also just joined the Sword God Sect, and it is the first time I have done this job, and I am afraid that I will not be able to clean it myself, which will make the senior brothers and elders on Tianqiao Peak unhappy, so I will come earlier, I can work for a while, and strive to clean the toilet a little more!"
The man's face softened a lot at once, "Well, go ahead!"
"Senior Brother Xie!"
Yan Liqiang said goodbye to this senior brother on duty, and continued to run quickly towards Tianqiao Peak, the man looked at Yan Liqiang's back, and didn't say anything, his figure flashed, and he flew up to the big tree beside him.
Tianqiao Peak is not a peak, from the ground to the peak, it is only more than 500 meters, if you take the mountain road, it is more than two miles of mountain road, the thatched toilet on Tianqiao Peak is in a fire bamboo forest outside the Tianqiao Hall on the top of Tianqiao Peak, fortunately, there is no woman on Tianqiao Peak, this thatched toilet, only the men on Tianqiao Peak are in use, the thatched toilet is public, very large, and very particular, such a large sect as the Sword God Sect, naturally will not be stingy in these places, the entire thatched toilet is inlaid with white marble, there are two urine troughs in the thatched toilet, and there are more than 30 squatting pits, each squatting pit has a wooden single compartment and a partition door......
The air in the latrine is naturally not good, and it smells for sure.
There are two large tanks of water in the latrine, but the water in the tanks is almost bottoming out, and there is not much water.
After looking at the situation of the latrine, Yan Liqiang put his tools under the bamboo forest outside the latrine, then took two wooden barrels, ran down the mountain, came to the stream at the foot of the mountain, fetched two buckets of water, and then carried the water and turned around and ran towards the mountain.
Yan Liqiang is running while practicing his "Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps", this mountain road is rugged, and he is carrying two buckets of water, it is a good time to practice "Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps", can quickly carry the full two buckets of water to the mountain, and try to let the water in the bucket spill out less, this test is Yan Li's body strengthening, footwork, as well as eyesight, hand strength and perseverance.
The first time he sent two buckets of water up, Yan Liqiang tripped over the steps in a place on the mountain road that was shaded by trees and had low visibility, and the water in the bucket spilled a lot, coupled with the shaking on the road, the two buckets of water he was carrying in his hand were only half a bucket when they were sent to the mountain and poured into the two water tanks outside the latrine.
After sending a trip, Yan Liqiang continued to run down the mountain, this second time, he felt that the water carried by the two buckets in his hand was not heavy, and when he returned, he remembered the situation of the warrior monks in the Shaolin Temple who he saw in the movie in his previous life, he directly put his two arms flat, held the two buckets flat, and then continued to run towards the mountain......
As soon as the arms are flat, the two buckets of water suddenly seem to have gained weight many times, and because the arms are flat, the buckets are lifted high, and after running, if your body is unsteady, the water inside is easier to spill.
The second time, the water that Yan Liqiang sent to the mountain was actually much less than the first time.
After pouring the two buckets of water into the water tank, Yan Liqiang did not say a word and continued to run down the mountain......
