I said nonchalantly: "In the past, it was my neighbor in our village, and I joined the Qingyun faction a few years earlier, but I haven't contacted my family since then, and my mother asked me to ask him for news, and she didn't have to think about it if he was dead or alive." ”

When the housekeeper saw my indifferent look, he whispered, "Dead." ”

"Dead?" Although Wang Xiaohai's death was something I expected, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I asked, "How did he die?" ”

The house manager said: "Huang Laohu was already the head of this mountain, Wang Xiaohai was punished into the water storage room on the first day he clashed with Huang Laohu, and not long after, he was drowned in the reservoir. I don't know the specific situation very well, I still remember after so many years, it is because this Wang Xiaohai is a disciple of the outer gate, and he has only been in the outer door for one year, and he has made great achievements, and he is about to break through to the qi realm, but because of his arrogance, he looks down on others, and he is very arrogant even after entering the water storage room. ”

I didn't have the heart to ask again when I heard the house steward say this, and I already knew from Granny Wu's account that his son was a perverse person, and such a person usually didn't know how to be sleek and sophisticated in a large group, so he was killed by Huang Tiger soon after he had a-for-tat confrontation with Huang Tiger in the water storage room.

After speaking, the room manager glanced at Jiang Yang, who was sleeping with his head covered, and stopped talking, I said, "House manager, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

The housekeeper said: "It's okay, it's not early, I came here while Brother Tiger wasn't outside, and it was not good for him to find out that we were walking so close, brother go to bed early." ”

After sending off the room manager, I took a cold shower and lay down on the bed to sleep, and when I woke up the next morning, I patted Jiang Yang's quilt and said, "Jiang Yang, get up, today I changed to a day shift." ”

Jiang Yang got up from the bed, I came back from washing outside, and accidentally saw blood marks on his underwear, so I asked, "Are you injured?" ”

Jiang Yang said hesitantly: "Small injury." ”

I saw that his exposed arms were all covered in blood, and I didn't need to look to know that there was not a good piece of meat on his body, so I asked, "Tell me who bullied you." ”

"No one is bullying me, you can go to work." Jiang Yang said secretly.

"Well, whoever bullies you must tell me." I dried my hair and walked outside, but suddenly I realized that something was wrong, so I turned around and asked, "Aren't you also on the day shift?" ”

Jiang Yang said: "I don't have to go to work today, not for these two days. ”

"Why?" I blurted out.

It's not because I don't agree with the injured, but I know what the water storage room is, Huang Laohu's hands work under him, how can Jiang Yang look like he is submissive, and he doesn't have to work if he suffers a little skin injury.

Jiang Yang didn't speak again, he got dressed and went out to wash with a basin, he was a little inconvenient to walk, and he looked a little uncomfortable.

Now that the injury on my leg is almost healed, and my walking is gradually becoming normal, I didn't expect someone to beat Jiang Yang so hard, so I said: "It just so happens that I will be on the day shift in the future, you go to and from work and eat with me, whoever beats you you know it, I will make him feel bad." ”

"No, you don't." Jiang Yang stopped looking at me after saying a word, but looked a little angry.

I didn't care, I went to the cafeteria to eat and get ready to start work, and I happened to see the housekeeper and his men sitting at the table, so I walked over with the dinner plate and asked everyone at the table to get out of the way.

A few people accompanied the smiling faces, and then walked away with the rice plate, I knocked my leg on the stool and asked, "The room manager said yesterday that you have cultivated a trace of Dao Qi, and you have the Qingyun Sect's Qi Entering Realm Exercises?" ”

The room steward said: "Yes, I have all the exercises sent by Qingyun to enter the Qi Realm, and I am pressed under the bed, doesn't Brother Yang also have it?" ”

I said, "I'll tell you the truth, although I am following Elder Hong, I am not learning the exercises of the Qingyun Sect. ”

The room manager nodded and said, "I see, if Brother Yang wants it, I'll give it to you after eating." ”

"Okay, thank you." I said while eating steamed buns, remembering what happened to Jiang Yang just now, so I asked, "Does the room manager know who beat the kid named Jiang Yang in my dormitory?" It's a pretty hard fight, I'll go there. ”

"Forget it, you'll find out later." The housekeeper said with a strange expression.

"Not the people of the water storehouse?" I tried to ask, if the outer disciple beat Jiang Yang, I really can't stand up for him for the time being.

"I always know that you don't ask, you will naturally know in the future." There was a hint of vigilance in the eyes of the house steward, for fear of being heard by others.

I wondered in my heart and didn't ask any more, after eating, the room steward went to his room and brought me the Qingyun Sect Qi Realm Exercises, which I hadn't seen for a long time.

All the sect exercises and secrets of the Qingyun Sect are open to the disciples in the sect, but because the people in the water storage room are not disciples of the Qingyun Sect at all, there are no exercises at all and there are no sect masters to guide them, and even the Qi Realm exercises of the house steward are given by Huang Laohu.

I looked at the exercises of entering the Qi Realm while carrying water, and the content above was much shallower than the content on the Wu Tao Te Ching, and I found a problem, that is, the Qi Entering Realm of the Wu Tao Te Ching did not seem to be practicing Dao Qi at all, and I couldn't complain that no matter how hard I tried in the past few months, I couldn't experience the existence of a trace of Dao Qi.

After picking up water for the morning, the room manager took the initiative to ask me to go to the cafeteria to eat during the lunch break, and he asked, "What does Brother Yang think of this exercise?" ”

I said, "It's easier to learn than my previous exercises, but I haven't figured out a specific way yet, if you have any gains, I'll teach you." ”

The house steward was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said: "Brother Yang has cultivated to the Purple Qi East Realm at a young age, and it won't take long for him to return to the peak, and it is expected to return to the outer gate or even the inner gate at that time." ”

I asked, "If you want to get out of the water storage room, do you have to cultivate to the Purple Qi Donglai realm?" ”

The house steward said: "Of course not, if that's the case, then wouldn't we be able to get out for the rest of our lives, this Qi Realm is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage, as long as you cultivate to the middle stage, you can actually apply out, but it seems that you have to draw lots to challenge an outer disciple, if you are lucky, you will go out in the first year." ”

"What does it mean to be lucky?" I asked.

The house steward said: "It's just that the rookie disciples were drawn by lot, otherwise any of them will be stronger than us, because although we have the Dao, our actual combat ability is not strong, and the competition among those outer disciples is said to be very fierce, and the fight is much fiercer than that of us at the same level." ”

"I see." I nodded.

The house steward said: "I think that since Brother Yang has the heart to practice the Tao, it is better to work for half a day in the future, anyway, you are faster than others, and half a day is more than many people do in a day." ”

"It's not embarrassing you." I said.

"Don't be embarrassed, I will naturally help my brother if I can help him." The housekeeper said.

For the next half a month, I only carried water for half a day every day, but now the people in the water storage room know that I am a ruthless person, so I don't complain at all.

During this time, I have been concentrating on studying the Qingyun Sect's Qi Entering Realm exercises, recalling that I felt Mr. Chang's Dao Qi wandering in my body at the beginning of Qingliang Guan, and I experienced it carefully, and finally late one night, I felt a trace of cool qi.

This qi first appeared in the position of my dantian, and Mr. Chang reminded me when he pierced the acupoint with a silver needle for me before, and the first trace of Dao qi that I cultivated in the future started from the dantian, because the dantian is the place where people's yang qi must pass, and it is also the place where the sea of qi will be opened up in the future.

I followed the Qingyun Sect's Qi Realm Exercise to swim that trace of Dao Qi along a few indicated meridians, although it was like a gossamer, but I could clearly feel its movement, this thing was different from blood, like a transparent little swimming dragon in the sea of blood.

After cultivating the Initiation Qi, I could clearly perceive that my vision and hearing were much clearer than before, and I also felt as if I had inexhaustible strength.

But I'm not going to tell anyone about my Dao Qi.

Seeing that it is about to reach the end of the month, I have been coming to the water storage room for more than 20 days, and I heard that at the end of each month, everyone in the water storage room will get two Qi Gathering Pills, this Qi Gathering Pill is only available to people from the Great Gate Sect, which is very beneficial to the cultivation of disciples who have entered the Qi Realm, even if Mr. Chang and Xiao Wu did not have one at the beginning.

When the time comes, I will use the Qi Gathering Pill to consolidate my achievements again, from forging the body to cultivating the Debut Qi to now, it will only take a few months, although there are peerless geniuses who can practice the Debut Qi in one day, but most of them use it for three or five years, and Xiao Wu is, so I am already very satisfied with such a result.

And in the past half a month, I found a strange thing, that is, Jiang Yang in the same dormitory, almost no need to go to work, the most important thing is that his actions make me more and more suspicious, I can often smell the faint smell of perfume on his body, the old wounds on his body have not healed and added new injuries, from the work under the water tower can see the door of our dormitory, I occasionally see him holding a basin and walking out of the door to fetch water, and after a while he spilled water out of the door, and the basin seems to have blood.

The housekeeper reminded me to leave it alone, saying that I would know later, but this time I couldn't help it, because I saw a teenager knocking on the door of my dormitory, and he seemed to say something to Jiang Yang in the room.

After a while, Jiang Yang walked out of the door, lowered his head, and followed the young man from a distance towards the woods a few hundred meters south of the water tower.

At this time, the housekeeper was sitting in the open space dozing off, and I put down the bucket and followed Jiang Yang over.

After arriving at a small forest, I hid behind a tree, and saw Jiang Yang enter an antique house, the house is bigger than the big dormitory under the water tower, I have heard that the yellow tiger lives here, and it is different from the one we live in, I have never been here to see it, and I can't help but be a little curious when I see it at this moment.

I walked to the window, looked sideways inside, and saw Jiang Yang crying with tears on his face and said: "Brother Tiger, I just played yesterday, my injury is not healed yet, please find someone else, I really don't want to do this anymore, you said last time you would let me go down the mountain and go home." ”
