Chapter 36: Behind the Reputation
On this day, Chen De, who was working, thought about it again in his heart.
After the disciples of the sect have enough strength, they often go out in teams, or perform the tasks of the master, or search for natural treasures, or hunt demon beasts, etc., to obtain cultivation resources.
At this time, cultivators will encounter all kinds of dangers, and trustworthy and reliable companions are important for monks to complete their tasks and avoid death.
Screening and choosing a partner is actually a matter of life and death.
Chen De had just entered the Tiantai Sect, and except for Zhang Zhiliang, everyone had a limited understanding of him.
Some people heard his nickname and pointed at him, these people are either cold by nature, or they are like the crowd and have no opinions, and these people have absolutely no value in relation.
Although some people don't say anything about him, the contempt and contempt they inadvertently show when they see Chen De is enough to show this person's temperament.
Because, for a disciple who has just started to have such an attitude towards him just by hearing about his nickname, such a person is likely to be unkind and probably not a good person. Such people are also not allowed to make friends and choose partners.
Over time, after spending a long time in the sect, most people will understand what kind of person they are.
At that time, the attitude of some people will change, and their attitude towards themselves will not be used to infer their character and personality.
There is a time limit to infer the character of the other party based on his attitude, that is, in the first few months when he has just entered the sect and his ugly reputation has just spread, at this time, the attitude of some people inadvertently revealed towards himself can basically accurately reflect the person's heart.
It is easy to identify a person's personality, so that you can easily avoid some fatal human disasters, and through this unwarranted ugly reputation that brings a lot of trouble to yourself, from a different perspective, it can bring such benefits to yourself.
In response to the old saying: "Fortune and misfortune lurk, misfortune and fortune rely on", thinking of this, Chen De actually showed a smug smile.
Chen De continued to think.
Not long after he got started, when he was teaching their new disciples, he said: The road to cultivating the truth is the most important thing. Chen De has firmly remembered it.
Since everyone is striving to be the first, everyone is busy cultivating and looking for opportunities, where will there be so much time to figure out the true personality of other fellow disciples? After all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies. Being able to identify a lot of people easily is not a great benefit.
Chen De can think like this, and his self-enlightenment skills are really not weak.
Thinking of this in his mind, Chen De couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and actually laughed out loud "hey, hey".
This smile didn't matter, and a roar immediately sounded in Chen De's ears: "You, what are you smirking at when you work! Can you afford to pay for the pulp falling to the ground?"
It was Liang Zewei, who had already looked at Chen De unpleasantly, and saw that Chen De was a little absent-minded, and scolded.
Chen De, who had already figured it out, was not annoyed, and said to Liang Zewei with a respectful attitude: "I will be careful." ”
In fact, Chen De is not absent-minded, but double-minded.
Not long after entering the Tiantai Sect, Chen De, who was still in the fresh and exciting period of entry, inadvertently found that he could use two minds.
That day, he saw a few elegant and mysterious runes in the Heavenly Scar Palace, and when he became interested, he drew them according to the gourd.
Deeply attracted by the two runes that shone with a bright light in front of him, while drawing with his right hand, he couldn't help but draw another rune with his left hand. By the time it was finished, the runes drawn in the right hand were basically correct, and the runes drawn in the left hand were not completely correct, but they were pretty much the same.
Although it takes a certain amount of skill to pour the rune paper pulp into the paper mold accurately, it is not difficult for Chen De to complete it with two hearts.
Chen De, who knew that he could use two minds, was secretly excited for several days.
Later, Chen De learned that people with the ability to think actually have the best foundation for developing this ability. Later, Chen De remembered that he was immature and excited at the beginning, and he also felt funny, after all, Chen De was still a teenager at this time.
Gong Ming followed Liang Zewei and snorted dissatisfiedly: "If something goes wrong, it will affect us, and you will die at that time!"
For such a clown, Chen De didn't bother to pay attention to him and ignored him directly.
The other two: Lau Delu and Eric, and Gong Ming are different, they know Chen De's extremely indecent nickname, they do not look down on and despise Chen De, and treat Chen De as if they were others.
However, because of Liang Zewei's attitude, they did not dare to show closeness to Chen De when Liang Zewei was present, so they had to have a lukewarm attitude towards Chen De.
Chen De knows this.
Since his companions were so cold and cold, he focused most of his attention on the art of making rune paper.
Xu Jinshan treats newcomers equally.
He and Liang Zewei entered the Tiantai Sect in the same batch, and now Liang Zewei's cultivation has obviously surpassed him, and he is particularly concerned about this.
Therefore, he mainly focused his energy and attention on cultivation and improving his cultivation, as long as he completed his daily sect work, he would not talk much, and the whole person would disappear in the side hall where he made talisman paper and devote himself to his penance.
A month after entering the Tiantai Sect, Chen De fully adapted to the life and cultivation in the Tiantai Sect.
Some time ago, compared with the days in Bailong Mountain and the days in the sect that were stable and suitable for cultivation, it could be said that there was a difference between heaven and earth.
It's not hard to get used to at all.
In the morning, from the beginning of the hour to the noon, it was the time when these low-level disciples had to complete the service of the sect.
Like Chen De's team, the duty is to make rune paper for the sect.
There are ten such squads in the Temple of Celestial Scars. Each team must hand over 3,000 rune papers of each level to the sect every month.
Runic paper is a commonly used consumable item in the Xiuzhen sect.
Some of them are for the sect's own use, and some of them are sold to some Xiuzhen families and scattered cultivators.
For rune paper, talisman makers of all levels use it almost every day.
Not to mention those low-level disciples who have just started to learn the making of talismans, the success rate at the beginning is extremely low, so I don't know how much rune paper is lost every day when used for hand training.
Making rune paper is really a kind of manual work.
The processes of material preparation, boiling, mixing, transporting, pouring molds, cutting and so on are hot and tiring.
In the first few days, Chen De was still very uncomfortable, mainly because it was too hot in the rune paper room and his physical strength was consumed quickly.
However, compared to the ordeal in Bailong Mountain, this hardship is nothing. Chen De adapted quickly, much faster than other newcomers. This is in Xu Jinshan's eyes.
In the afternoon, the time is basically at the disposal of the disciples themselves.
However, for beginner disciples, in the afternoon, some classes arranged by the sect are required to participate.
For example, on the second day after initiation, all new disciples must attend a course on the precepts of the sect. In class, the disciples are taught the various precepts, rules, and systems of the Tiantai sect.
Then, each person has a copy of the sect's precepts. For those important items, the teaching and practice are focused on so that the new disciples do not lose their own future.
In addition, there are several martial arts exercises issued by the sect, and their courses are also stipulated to be required.
For these kung fu subjects, Chen De is not left behind.
Chen De, who has experienced several life-and-death struggles, knows the importance of personal combat strength.
Unlike some disciples, after knowing that monks can perform spells, the battle between monks is basically a competition of spells and magic weapons, and after the close combat of martial arts is almost useless, they often skip class.
The five exercises are: Songyue Tiger Fist, Chasing the Wind Step, Splitting Mountain Knife, Fengyun Twelve Styles, and Extreme Spear.
The teaching of martial arts is specially introduced: For monks in the vein cultivation period, Songyue Tiger Shape Fist has the effect of assisting cultivation. Practicing this boxing technique can make people stand like a loose and not move like a mountain.
The so-called wind from the tiger is because of the tenacity and strength of the tiger bones. Tiger bone is a precious medicinal material, which has the effect of strengthening the kidney, invigorating the muscles, invigorating the blood, clearing the blood veins, and strengthening the muscles and bones.
Practicing this boxing method can strengthen people's skeleton, muscles and bones, strengthen the bones, enhance the hematopoietic function, and make people's blood and qi more vigorous. The actual combat effect of this boxing method is not weak, and it is as powerful as a tiger to kill and bite when attacking.
Chasing the wind is a way to move and dodge, footwork, and the importance does not need to be repeated. When fighting, the difference between dodging is a fraction of a second, and there is a difference between life and death.
The other three are martial arts that combine people and weapons. The strength of combat power is directly determined by a person's ability to master and use weapons.
Most new disciples only specialize in one type of weapon, a few will practice both, and a very small number will practice both. Chen De is one of these very few.
Originally, Chen De also wanted to focus only on knife skills, because he often used sabers in Bailong Mountain, and he had some experience in how to use knives.
After practicing swordsmanship and marksmanship, Chen De found that practicing different weapons used different muscle groups on the body, and the strain on the bones was different.
If all three weapons are cultivated, the skeletal muscles of the whole body will be more balanced and comprehensively honed. For him, who is still growing his body, his body will be more symmetrical and more coordinated.
The accompanying benefit is that the meridians of the whole body are equally strong and smooth, and there are no weak points, which is naturally beneficial to cultivation.
Chen De has such an experience, which is related to the experience in Bailong Mountain. At that time, he had already discovered that the parts of the body that are commonly used and practiced are much stronger and stronger than other parts.
In fact, to put it simply, it is to use in and out.
Because of his reputation for flying for no reason, Chen De's difference from ordinary people was naturally easy to attract the attention of other disciples.
Chen De practiced all three weapons, and soon became the target of ridicule by some disciples.
However, Chen De was unmoved.
Especially after persisting for two or three months, Chen De felt that his body was becoming more and more coordinated and flexible, and the speed of his movements and reaction speed had increased significantly, so he was even more disdainful of this ridicule.
The Qingfeng Sword and the Bahuan Sword are all standard weapons of the low-level disciples of the Tiantai Sect.
It was restructured from a magic weapon that was unsuccessful when a disciple of the Heavenly Weapon Palace forged a magic weapon to practice.
It's not as good as a magic weapon, but it's much stronger than the mortal soldiers used by mortals.
The same swords, the Qingfeng Sword and the Overlord Ring Sword can easily cut off mortal soldiers without scathed.
These standard weapons are not free like those martial arts exercises, and the disciples of the sect need to buy them by digging out spirit stones. Because when these standard weapons were built, it took a lot of spiritual materials and forging effort.
The Qingfeng Sword and the Bahuan Sword both require two lower-grade spirit stones. The Extreme Spear requires four low-grade spirit stones for one shot. Because the pole gun uses more materials, and the gun barrel is made of special materials, it has strong flexibility and elasticity.
After purchasing these three standard weapons, Chen De's first month's monthly salary was only two lower-grade spirit stones.
While sighing that the flower spirit stone is like flowing water, Chen De also muttered in his heart: The cost of this spirit stone is necessary.
