Chapter 68: The Vegetable Garden

The woman in white is surnamed Zhu Mingyan, Chu Xuan expected it well, her identity in the Dao Sect is really not simple. Zhu Yan's father's name is Zhu Tingzhi, and he is one of the four palaces of Dao Yizong, the palace master of the White Tiger Palace.

Dao Yizong has four palaces and sixteen halls, the four palaces are named after the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu, and each palace has one palace master, two deputy palace masters, and all palace masters are led by the real people of the ruling sect.

The four palaces have 16 halls, each of which has a hall master and two deputy hall masters. There are a number of doors under the hall, each with one main door and two deputy door masters.

In the Dao Sect, the number of disciples usually ranges from 200 to 300. Because of the harshness of accepting disciples, even if the cultivation of these disciples is the weakest, the realm is generally not lower than that of the Xiaotian Void Realm. And the Taoist sect will organize disciples to participate in martial arts every once in a while, and during the martial arts meeting, all disciples will be forced to participate, and the hall masters will select the best of them through the disciples to meet the martial arts, and then carry out special training.

Speaking of which, the two sects of Chongsheng, the Dao Yi Sect and the Dao Wu Sect, are very different from the other sects outside the island. Except for a certain amount of land on Chongsheng Island, the two sects almost did not have any property in the other three continents by levying land taxes on the island's residents, and the sects never reached out to their disciples to ask for money. The two sects recruit disciples almost free of charge, regardless of origin, rich or poor, and only rely on personal ability.

However, the two sects of Chongsheng each have tens of thousands of disciples, not to mention that the disciples' cultivation needs a large number of spirit stones and elixirs to assist, that is, one person has one mouth, and the daily food and clothing is not a small amount. Therefore, relying only on a little tax on the island, it is naturally impossible to maintain the operation of the huge sect, and the main economic source of the two sects still relies on the support of the royal families of several powerful countries in the Northern and Eastern Yuan. This has been going on for thousands of years.

However, the support of the nations is not gratuitous, which is why when the two sects accept disciples, they have to take special care of the royal families of the Northern Yuan and Eastern Yuan countries.

With Zhu Yan's recommendation, the Dao Yizong personnel who were responsible for managing the miscellaneous servants naturally did not dare to lose face, and immediately introduced Chu Xuan to the back mountain to manage the vegetable garden.

Zhu Yan had a very good impression of Chu Xuan, plus she was kind-hearted, and she was worried that the other party would get lost, so she personally took him to the vegetable garden.

Chongsheng Island is surrounded by mountains in the north and south, the eastern part is low-lying and has many ports, and the central part is mostly plain except for a few hills.

The vegetable garden of the Dao Yi Sect is located on a flat land at the foot of the mountain behind the sect.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chu Xuan wouldn't have believed that there would be such a huge vegetable garden in this world. Standing on the hillside, looking down, there is no boundless... The dish is so green that it is unacceptable. Chu Xuan felt that the area occupied by this vegetable garden was probably worth his imperial city in the Zhou Kingdom.

Of course, the vegetable garden is so huge, there will naturally be no shortage of people in charge of the garden, plus the newcomer Chu Xuan, there are almost a hundred people.

Zhu Yan led Chu Xuan to a small village on the edge of the vegetable garden, turned left and right, and came to the house of a gray-haired old man.

The old man was drinking alone in the house, and when he saw Zhu Yan coming, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yanzi, why do you have time to come to the old guy to play here today?"

"Uncle Zhang, Xiao Yanzi begs you something. This is a new handyman, named Lin Xuan, he came to Chongsheng from far away, and wants to participate in next year's apprenticeship competition, I don't think he has a place to blame the poor one, so let him come here to help, see if you can ......"

I don't know what the origin of this old man surnamed Zhang is, Zhu Yan seems to be very polite when talking to him.

After hearing this, Old Man Zhang blamed: "You Nizi is good at everything, but your heart is too kind, listen to the old guy's words, and don't worry about this kind of idle matter in the future." ”

Zhu Yan smiled and agreed: "Okay, okay, not next time, then do you agree or not?" ”

"Okay, okay, you personally sent the person here, I can still drive him away, that is, just open your mouth to eat, don't get in the way. The old man sighed helplessly.

Since the old man had agreed to stay with Chu Xuan, Zhu Yan was relieved, and turned his head to Chu Xuan and said, "Junior Brother Chu Xuan, you can stay here to help Uncle Zhang take care of the vegetable garden with peace of mind, and when the time for accepting apprentices next year is up, it is not too late to participate again." My sister left first, and I'll come back to see you when I have time. ”

Chu Xuan nodded yes, and watched Zhu Yan leave with a smile on his face, but he was speechless for a while, looking at her appearance, she was not a few years older than herself, and she really regarded herself as a younger brother. But this is also to blame myself, the screaming of a fairy sister before, which makes the other party take it for granted now, and I don't feel that I am taking advantage of myself.

After Zhu Yan left, Old Man Zhang's attitude immediately stiffened, and he said to Chu Xuan lightly: "I don't have a room here, you can sleep in the firewood room in the future." Also, remember to water the elixir in the vegetable garden every morning, noon and evening, and don't be lazy. ”

Chu Xuan said in his heart, there is no room or anything, it is undoubtedly a liar, there are so many thatched huts here, long and wide, big and round, and there is only Old Man Zhang alone, he obviously doesn't want to let himself live, how can there be no room.

But he saw through it but didn't say it, after all, he was now under the fence.

Wait... Wait a minute!

"What, water the elixir!" Chu Xuan suspected that he had misheard.

The old man squinted at him with disdain, "What a fuss, if it's not an elixir, what do we eat every day if there are so many disciples of our Dao Sect?"

"You mean, the disciples in the sect eat every day are all elixirs?In other words, all the vegetables grown in the vegetable garden are elixir?" Chu Xuan's worldview was shocked.

"Huh. ”

Old man Zhang felt that he was looking down on the hillbilly in front of him more and more.

...

On the second day, with his mind full of incredulity, Chu Xuan got up early, and according to the old man's request, he went to the clear spring on the mountain to draw a few large tanks of water to the vegetable garden to water the vegetables. He also took this opportunity to take a good look at the vegetable garden of Dao Yizong. Sure enough, Old Man Zhang's words are not exaggerated, the tens of thousands of disciples of this Dao Sect eat every day, and it is really a elixir, and many of them are still high-grade elixirs.

Obediently, this kind of thing is unimaginable in the Nanyuan Continent, I have to say that there is a reason why the two sects of Chongsheng are famous in the outside world, just by looking at this, it can be seen.

Hmm, no wonder people in other places dare to bully the poor and weak people in the Nanyuan Continent, in their world, most of the elixirs can be cultivated artificially, and the spirit stone veins are also countless, and the resources for cultivation are completely unusable.

...

After working tirelessly in the vegetable garden for a few days, Chu Xuan gradually felt bored.

Whenever night falls and the cool moon is full, he can't help but think of the dead Su Xintang. I remembered the first time I saw her on the road, I remembered that night I rescued her in the black shop, I remembered that I studied the Book of Heaven with her, I remembered that she married me later, I remembered that she was pregnant with her own child, and I remembered that she was outside the Xuanluo Forest and blocked the arrow for herself.

Every time he thought of this, his heart was like a knife, and he burned inside.

It's hateful, I fled here with nine deaths, is it really here to do chores!
