All Chapters_Chapter 099 Entering the Water Reservoir for the First Time
When Dao Tong said the word "inferior", he was calm, and there was no mockery on his face, he may have been adopted by Elder Hong since he was a child, and he has always been high, so he naturally thinks that many people are inferior.
When I went out from the mountain gate of Qingyun Mountain, the people who accompanied the new disciples had not dispersed, and I hurriedly descended the mountain along the mountain path from which I came.
The fat boy's black-clad bodyguard saw me coming out of the mountain gate, looked left and right, and then quietly followed me.
The way down the mountain was bumpy, and I remember that there was a mountain path that was very difficult to walk, and I had to climb to get up the mountain, and there was a blind spot when I went down, and I was going to do it there when I saw it from above.
My movements were very fast, and the black-clothed bodyguard followed closely, and he also wanted to do it after he went down the mountain, otherwise killing the new disciple of Qingyun Mountain was a capital crime, and he also needed to weigh it.
When I came to the steep mountain road, I jumped down and immediately rolled under the protruding rocks, and after a while the bodyguard came out of the grass and looked down, he jumped down gently, his gun in his hand, and there was no one on the mountain road below, and his movements became vigilant, as if he smelled danger.
I swooped out from behind him and threw him to the ground, snapping his hand at the gun, and unloading him. No matter how powerful this bodyguard is, he is an ordinary person after all, and I have a lot more strength now, and no matter how good he is in grappling, he can't screw me.
The bodyguard struggled, elbowing my belly, and I put my arm around his neck, holding my strength up until he stopped moving under me.
I picked up the pistol on the ground, dragged the bodyguard to the bushes next to the mountain road and covered it with leaves, and hurried down the mountain, this was my first real fight with a person, he had no ability to resist when he stabbed Huang Yan'er to death in Futu Ridge before.
And this time he easily killed this bodyguard, mostly because of his light enemy, he thought that I had never seen the world in a mountain village, and it was easy to kill.
This gave me a sense of crisis, because there is no legal protection in the 100,000 mountains of the Qinling Mountains, and what the upper echelons of the sect here say is the king's law, and strength and identity are the capital for people to live.
I can take the opportunity to escape and not step into the Qingyun Sect, but the other sects are the same, even more so.
Before entering the Daomen, Xiao Wu and Mr. Chang had already reminded me more than once that the Daomen was sinister.
Besides, I promised Granny Wu to help her inquire about the news of her son Wang Xiaohai, and my fish intestine sword was exchanged for a chance to enter the sect, even if I offended the people in the miscellaneous room, I couldn't just forget it.
In the evening, I arrived at Granny Wu's house in Shanqian Village, and Granny Wu was overjoyed when she heard that I had entered the Qingyun Sect, and he said, "I knew you could go in, did you ask Xiaohai for news?" ”
I said: "Mother-in-law, Brother Xiaohai is a disciple who went in twelve years ago, I asked a Taoist boy inside, he said that he has not heard of this person, there are too many people in the Qingyun Sect, at least more than 10,000, it would be good for a person to know hundreds of people, this is still waiting for me to inquire a little bit, don't worry, I will definitely inform you if there is news." ”
Granny Wu was relieved when she heard me say this, she said: "You came all the way to tell me that you must be hungry, our family also raises three chickens, one of which does not lay eggs, I will kill the chicken for you to eat, I heard that it is very hard to enter the Taoist sect to learn skills." ”
"No need mother-in-law, I have to rush back."
"It's getting late, how dangerous is it for you to go back at this time, can't you go back tomorrow?"
"Daomen has the rules of Daomen, I guess Xiaohai must also want to come back to see you, I am a newcomer, I said that my home is at the bottom of the mountain, so there is a chance to come back, you have to take good care of yourself at home."
Granny Wu nodded, but she said that she wanted me to finish her cooking before leaving, and kept putting chicken in my bowl to make me eat more during the meal.
I said goodbye to Granny Wu and returned to the Qingyun Sect, and it was already midnight when I arrived at the mountain gate.
When I was a child, I was always scared when I walked at night, but these days of eating and sleeping in the open and sleeping in the open and precarious days made me no longer afraid of the night, and I finally became a walker who could walk alone in the dark night without my mother's concern.
When I arrived in front of the Qingyun Sect Mountain Gate, I found that the disciples guarding the door were no longer the two people in the daytime, and when the two people in front of me saw me coming, they stopped me and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want to do when you come to the Qingyun Sect at this time?" ”
I said respectfully, "This senior brother, I am a rookie disciple who has returned from the mountain, and Senior Brother Pony asked me to come back before dawn, so I came at this time." ”
"Brother Pony?" The disciple of the mountain guard wondered.
"It's the Dao boy beside Elder Hong." I said.
"Oh, then I'll be clear, the senior brother just told me about you when I handed over today, saying that it was a lame uncle who was admitted to work in the water storage room, and it seems that he also offered a family heirloom sword." The mountain guard disciple said.
"It's me."
"Uncle, you really kicked the donkey in your brain, and you have to offer a sword when you enter the water storage room." Another disciple who guarded the mountain said that he had a hairy mole at the corner of his mouth, so he had been brushing the hairs on the mole since he spoke.
I saluted the two disciples and walked towards the door.
"Hey, wait, you just went in like this, who agreed to let you in?" The disciple of the mountain guard with a mole on his face said.
I said, "Or else? ”
"Yo he, the speech is quite horizontal, I entered the mountain gate in the middle of the night, I didn't even have a token, I went through the normal procedures, took off my clothes and checked, many things in the world can not be brought in, especially guns and knives can not be brought, and the inside can be checked more strictly." This disciple guarding the mountain has his face raised high, and he looks like I recognize you as old.
"Senior Brother Qian, you're just a newcomer, and you're so old, why do you bother others?" Another disciple guarding the mountain said.
"Where do you get so much sense of justice, you don't care if I bully a newcomer." The disciple guarding the mountain with the mole said with an unhappy face, he looked at me and waved his hand and said: ", I'll let you go this time, seeing how you dress like this, I also know that you are a hillbilly with no money, and you can only receive it when you get to the water storage room, the sect will send two Qi Gathering Pills down every month, and when the time comes, you will supply me with one, and I can still say a few words for you." ”
At the time, I didn't understand what the disciple meant, but I understood it when I walked to the hill where the water storage room was located, because the water storage room was brightly lit, and there were still people working after the early hours of the morning.
A rugged middle-aged man with a strong appearance was directing the crowd to fetch water from the bottom of the mountain to fill the water tower on the mountain and the large vat around the water tower.
When the middle-aged man saw me coming down the mountain at this time, he said, "Are you the new one who came here during the day today?" ”
I said, "Yes, under the rookie disciple Yang Hao. ”
The young man nodded and said, "My name is Yang Hao, I heard that you are very wild, and you beat the people in the miscellaneous room on the first day you came." The most welcome thing in our water storage room is people with strength, I see that you are old, and I don't plan to punish you, after all, we have to solve the problem of supplying water to the entire Qingyun Mountain. I'll take you to your dormitory now. ”
The rugged middle-aged man said and took me to a collective dormitory not far from the water tower, he took me around the inside, it was very damp inside, and it was smelly, some of the beds were lying on the people who were sleeping, some of the beds had quilts but no one was sleeping, presumably the people who were empty in the beds were carrying water outside.
The rugged middle-aged man said, "It seems that the large dormitory is already full, and you have to live in another room." ”
He said and ordered me to go to a small tiled house next to it, I wondered, this Qingyun Mountain is full of antique pavilions and magnificent palaces, why is this the only one here is a water tower and a tiled house, and watching these people carry water back and forth, their shoulders and hands are red, this also has the effect of cultivation?
In my imagination, although I realized that the water storage room was not a good place, it was a place for the most inferior disciples of the sect to live, carrying water and chopping wood every day, but at least I could tie sandbags to my legs to exercise my foot and arm strength, and in my spare time, I could study Taoist anthologies and practice Taoism.
But these people were so tired that their eyelids were rolling, and the clothes on their bodies were soaked, and they didn't know whether they were soaked with water or sweat.
The middle-aged man brought me into this blue-brick room had only two beds, one bed was empty, and the other bed was sleeping a slightly chubby teenager.
This young man looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and his eyebrows were clear, and for a moment I was reminded of Xiao Wu, who seemed to hear the creak of the door being opened, and crawled up like a convulsed hare, and hid in bed looking at me and the rugged middle-aged man with a frightened expression.
Then he shouted tremblingly: "Brother Tiger." ”
The rugged middle-aged man nodded, looked at the young man meaningfully and said, "Chubby, this is your new roommate." ”
The boy said yes, and then looked at me warily.
The rugged middle-aged man pointed to the two pieces of clothes on the bed and said, "I see that you don't have any luggage, these two robes are what you usually wear, and it is best to have one of them dry, otherwise you will have no other clothes to change when they are wet." ”
I hummed, laid out the straw mat and sheets rolled up on the bed, and the middle-aged man said, "Now that the bed has been made, let's get ready to work." ”
"Tonight?" I asked.
"Yes, I'll start tonight and finish tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, and then I'll change to another shift."
"However, Brother Pony told me to start tomorrow." I tried to say something like that.
The middle-aged man's face was slightly displeased, and he said: "There is no Senior Brother Pony here, the mountain of the water storage house, I have the final say, if you have an opinion, you can keep it, I don't have much patience with newcomers." ”
After the rugged middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, and the young man on the bed behind him made a shushing gesture to me and said, "Don't refute Brother Hu's words, you will suffer." ”
I asked, "What's his name?" ”
The young man said, "Yellow Tiger, the head of this mountain. ”
