Chapter 39: The Heart of the Strong
The man said, "The second row is the second gear." This kind of disciple, although he is not disrespectful to the overseer, has no human courtesy, to put it bluntly, he will be arranged here if he does not have a filial piety to the overseer."
"If you are injured, you will be given three days of rest, and if you are not injured, you will have to go to work the next day. Eight people live in the same room. ”
"The third row is the third-grade disciple. The etiquette is thorough, and the silver of filial piety is under a thousand taels. If there is an injury, there are 10 days to breathe. If there is no injury, you can also rest for five days before going to work. Six people live in the same room. ”
Zheng Fan asked: "Senior brother, I just honored the senior brother who supervised the work for exactly one thousand taels of silver, I don't know where I will be arranged?"
The man smiled: "Senior brother, don't worry, this fourth row is where you go." The disciples who live in this fourth row are all people who are skilled and sleek. The silver of filial piety is more than a thousand taels, and those who are injured can breathe for a month, and those who are not injured can rest here for half a month and then go to work. Four people share the same room. ”
Zheng Fan said in his heart: "Sure enough, the steel will be broken, sometimes lowering his head slightly, but it is another world, fighting for a moment of useless will, will only cost his life." ”
The man continued: "The fifth row is to honor the disciples above 10,000 taels of silver. These people, before the mountain, were mostly rich and noble, or the bandit leaders of a mountain, and they had a lot of money. ”
"If you are injured when you come, you can breathe for half a year, and if you are not injured, you can rest for three months. When I go back to work, I can do things very easily. The two live in the same room. ”
When Zheng Fan heard this, he asked, "Senior brother, it is said that the competition on the heartbroken platform is something that every new disciple will experience, when will I be able to walk out of this heart field and become a formal disciple?"
The man said with a smile: "At the end of every year, there are many newcomers in Dao Xintian, and there will be a competition. The top 10 winners can leave this heart field and become an outer disciple. ”
"I see, dare to ask Senior Brother, what kind of realm are the top ten senior brothers in the previous years?" Zheng Fan then asked, after all, it is always good to know more about this heart when you first come to this realm.
"The highest realm is the peak of the tenth layer of the body refining realm, if you happen to reach the qi control realm within this year, you can directly become an outer disciple. The man said as he carried Zheng Fan to the back of the fourth row. It took a quarter of an hour to stop.
"Senior brother, you can live in this room. As he spoke, he pushed the door open and went in, and there were four beds in the room, all of which were empty. The man smiled: "Good luck, junior brother, there are no disciples in this room for the time being, and you are the first." ”
Zheng Fan also smiled: "Thanks to the hard work of the two senior brothers, who carried me all the way, the great kindness and great virtue dare not forget, and there will be heavy thanks in the future." Put me on the ground. ”
The man said, "I've gone so far, and it's not too many steps, I'll still put you on the bed, and you're resting." ”
"Don't. Zheng Fan hurriedly said: "The two senior brothers don't know, I like to sleep on the ground since I was a child, and I am used to it, please put me on the ground." ”
"Well, I've never seen such a strange person as you. The man muttered and placed Zheng Fan on the ground.
As soon as his body landed, Zheng Fan's heart was also steady. Now that my hands and feet are broken, I can't move a finger, and if I am put on the bed, it will be difficult to get off the ground, and if I don't touch the earth, how can I summon that power?
"Senior brothers, I have one more question. Every year, there are only ten places to become outer disciples, what about the rest of the brothers?"
It's not that he is not confident in Dabi at the end of the year, that power is added, and the divine power of ten thousand catties in an instant is enough to match the tenth layer of the refining body realm. But he did want to know what would happen to the newcomers who didn't become outsiders.
The man's face was a little uncomfortable, and after thinking about it, he still said: "Senior brother, except for the ten winning disciples, everyone else should return to the broken heart stone again, compete with the senior brother who led him up the mountain before, and break the Dao heart again, so as to increase the skills of those senior brothers." ”
Zheng Fanqi said: "What? Newcomers who come here, isn't the Dao heart already broken?
The man shook his head: "Everyone has their own Dao heart, whether strong or weak. After crushing, as long as it does not die, it will grow again little by little, but at a very slow speed.
In this Dao Heart Field, the Dao Heart Fruit is planted, and the aura here is very helpful for the recovery of the Dao Heart. Therefore, if you plant land here for a year, the Dao Heart that was destroyed before can also be repaired a lot. ”
"This is too cruel, isn't it!" Zheng Fan's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of anger: "I have tried the taste of the broken heart of the Dao, life is better than death, all thoughts are lost." The Dao Heart that was finally repaired is going to be shattered again, just to increase the strength of those senior brothers?"
The man hurriedly stepped forward and covered Zheng Fan's mouth, and whispered: "Senior brother, don't slander all senior brothers at will, do you still have a life if you are heard?"
Zheng Fan sighed: "What will happen to those brothers who have broken their Dao hearts twice? How many of the ten people will survive?"
"The Dao Heart is broken twice, and only five out of ten people can live, but they will become walking corpses and lose their spirits. Returning here to plant the Dao Heart Field, there is the aura of the Dao Heart Field, a year later, the Dao Heart grows again, participates in the big competition, and if the big competition wins, it becomes an outer disciple, if it fails, it needs to be broken again, and so on. ”
Zheng Fan gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This is simply hell! Don't take human life seriously, and the imperial court won't take care of it?"
The man was laughed at by Zheng Fan's words: "Senior brother, you have just gone up the mountain, and your consciousness is still in the mortal world. I want the Sword Gate, but I am a third-rate cultivator, and I don't accept the discipline of the king.
This is the rule of my desire sword gate, the weak eat the strong, and the weak can only be a stepping stone for the strong. ”
Zheng Fan didn't speak, he used to be a weak scholar, he couldn't bear it on his shoulders and couldn't lift it in his hands. Because of his weakness, he was separated from Guo Bo and was arrested by robbers.
Because of his weakness, he couldn't defeat the demons, and Ah Lu's sister died.
The enemy was no match for Wu Shigou and was caught in the mountains. All this because he is not strong enough, but the weak, is he guilty?
All things in heaven and earth are eternal. There are tall and short, long and short, strong and weak.
The weak do not want to be motivated, and they live all day long, and that is a sin. But this desire for the sword sect does not even give them the opportunity to become stronger.
The Dao heart is reforged, and it is about to be shattered again. Can only be given to those so-called strong people as nourishment to improve their skills, is this fair?
Maybe being weak is a sin in itself.
Zheng Fan kept thinking, and the two of them saw that Zheng Fan's eyes were dull, and they didn't know what they were thinking, so they sighed, didn't speak again, turned around and went out, and closed the door with their hands.
"Bang", the sound of closing the door sounded, waking Zheng Fan up from deep thought, and he was alone in the empty room, and suddenly laughed: "Is the weak guilty or not, and what can it be? The fact is that the weak can't control their own destiny, so I want to become stronger!"
"Wealth can't be lewd, mighty can't be bent!" Zheng Fan recited the mantra, and a force rose from the earth and surged all over Zheng Fan's body.
"Ahh
Zheng Fan's muscles burst out, cold sweat flowed, and his whole body trembled violently. The pain was so intense that he almost fainted.
After half an hour, the power dissipated. Zheng Fan stood up and let out a long breath: "Sure enough, that power didn't disappoint me, such a serious injury, it was all repaired." ”
Zheng Fan sat on the bed: "I spent a thousand taels of silver, at least there is still a month, what should I do? ”
Randomly, I thought, "The situation of a new disciple who has suffered the same thing as me may not be much better." I have the power to protect myself, and what about them, especially the brothers who have run against the overseers, and have no money, cannot finish their work, and have no food to eat.
I have been so badly wounded, it cost me a thousand taels, and I have not seen anyone come to bring me some decoction, and who will take care of those who have not made money?"
Thinking of this, Zheng Fan's heart softened.
"I'm going to help them, at least I can't let my brothers who are sick with the same illness not even have something to eat. Thinking of this, Zheng Fan got up and walked out of the house and walked towards the heart field.
Zheng Fan sprinted, and after a while, his kung fu came to the endless Dao Heart Field.
"Hey, that kid, why are you running here and being lazy and not working?
He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Feng, it's me, we just met." ”
Seeing Zheng Fan's ruddy complexion and the appearance of a vigorous tiger, Supervisor Feng couldn't help but be surprised: "Senior Brother Zheng, didn't you still have broken limbs just now, how did you get as good as ever after a while?"
Zheng Fan said with a smile: "In the early years, I met a beggar in Xia, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I gave him ten taels of silver. The beggar was grateful, and gave me a pill, saying that it could live and die, and flesh and bones. I just thought he was joking, and I didn't take it to heart.
The pill has always been kept close to me, kept as a souvenir, and has never been thrown away. Injured so badly today, the dead horse was treated as a live horse doctor, and he ate the pill, but he didn't expect the broken bones to be recast and the severed limbs to be reunited. ”
Supervisor Feng clapped his hands and praised: "Good elixir, junior brother is also good for cultivation." Although the junior brother has recovered from his serious injuries, there is no need to worry, and he will rest for a month, and it is not too late to come out to cultivate this heart. ”
"Thank you Senior Brother Feng for your kindness, I have recovered from my injuries, and I am thinking about those injured disciples who are just as new as me, so I want to come here to see if I can help these brothers share some work and fulfill their friendship. ”
