Chapter 191: The Road Up the Mountain
"I'm a disciple who came here to sign up this time." Chen Chen took out the fold full of spiritual energy from his arms and handed it to the other party.
The young man in front of him didn't take it, but smiled slightly: "Then please come with me." With that, he turned and walked up the hill.
Chen Chen looked left and right at the group of people around him, and after seeing that they didn't say anything, he stuffed the paper in his hand back into his arms and followed.
As Tatsuchen had seen in the distance before, the mountain was incomparably tall, and the steps up the way up stretched to the end of the field of vision, connecting with the peaks with no peaks in sight. The long stairs mean that it takes a long time to go up the mountain, so people usually talk about something to pass the time.
"What's your name?" The young man walking in front asked.
"My name is Chenchen, what do you call me?"
"My name is Zheng Jike, you can call me Senior Brother Zheng."
"Senior Brother Zheng?" Chen Chen was slightly stunned, "I haven't entered the sect yet, so it's not good to call it that?" ”
He smiled, "What's wrong, since you came with a poster, you will enter our sect sooner or later." ”
Well, since everyone has said so, Chen Chen is not very good at saying something.
"By the way, Senior Brother Zheng," speaking of this, he suddenly thought of the fingernail-sized rock slips contained in the admissions post posted by Chong Zhengzong, which were really valuable. "Among the posters issued by our sect, does each one contain the Five Elements Jane?"
"Five Elements? Oh, do you mean that gadget that automatically turns into an animal as soon as you turn it on? It was made by the people of Yiqiaofeng. Their people like to work hard in such useless places the most. And I've heard that everyone gets a different animal in the poster. Tut-tut, in my opinion, it is better to cultivate more spiritual energy if you have this time......
Unexpectedly, as soon as this Senior Brother Zheng mentioned the internal affairs of the sect, he suddenly became very talkative. Starting from a small part of the poster, he talked about his opinion on other peaks. Chen Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, pulled the topic aside and said, "If the posters distributed in our sect contain the Five Elements Jane, then this part alone will cost how much money it will cost in a year." ”
Zheng Jike waved his hand, looking very relaxed. "There aren't many of these five-element Janes, they're just leftovers from everyday use."
"Leftovers?" Chenchen was a little incomprehensible. You must know that Wuxing Jian is hard to find outside, and I have only seen it a few times in the past ten years, how did it become a worthless scrap here?
And Zheng Jike seemed to see Chenchen's thoughts, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said to Chenchen: "Before explaining this, did you feel that the spiritual energy on the mountain is more abundant?" ”
More abundant? Chen Chen unfolded his spiritual vision, and the surrounding psionic molecules immediately appeared in front of him. And indeed, as the senior brother said, the spiritual energy on the mountain is much more abundant than that under the mountain.
"It's ......"
"That's right, the spiritual energy in the sect is much more abundant than in the outside world, and this is because of the Great Array of Protectors." As he spoke, Senior Brother Zheng waved his hand and swept all the surroundings in. "Although this formation is not fully activated in normal times, some simple functions have been maintained. And to maintain these basic functions, it takes about 1,000 standard five-element simplifications per day. ”
"A thousand?!" Chen Chen was shocked. If he could really use up a thousand pieces of Five Elements in a day, then the ones he had in his hand now were really nothing. And the standard size can cut dozens of posters.
Looking at Chen Chen's shocked appearance, Zheng Jike seemed to enjoy it very much, he knocked Chen Chen's head and accelerated to walk up. "Wait, after you enter the sect, there are still many things to learn."
Chen Chen digested what he said for a while in the back, and also increased his speed to follow. "Senior Brother Zheng, tell me more about the things in the sect."
"Things within the sect?" Zheng Jike thought for a while, "Other sects were established late, and there may not be so many rules and regulations. As a giant sect that has lasted for several eras, we naturally have more restrictions. For example, the door rules clearly state that the same door is not allowed to fall in love, and some time ago I heard that Heyan and Xiaoping were together......"
"No, no, I didn't want to hear that." Seeing that the topic of this senior brother is about to develop in a strange place. After all, I just came to this sect and my eyes were black, so it's okay to talk about some rules that should not be violated, and listen to less gossip or something.
"So you don't like to hear this?" Zheng Jike's eyes rolled, and the topic changed abruptly, "Then let's talk about what happened after you entered the sect." ”
"The sect is different from other organizations, you need to stay in it for four years and complete a series of tasks at the same time to become a teacher. Of course, if you don't have a better place to go after you leave, you can come back and continue to live here, but you must pass the test and take in the apprentices. ”
"And your life in it, including your usual residence, food, and some basic living materials are all distributed by the sect for free, if you have special needs, go to your master to apply to the top, and you will generally agree."
"However, although this kind of basic living materials will be distributed by the sect, life as a disciple is not easy. We Chongzheng Sect implements a performance appraisal system, and there are points that must be completed every year, which your master will give you when the time comes. I've heard of people ...... Ahem, in short, if you don't have enough points every year, there will be a very severe penalty. ”
Senior Brother Zheng's words seemed to contain a hint of caution, two pieces of advice, and half a joke. Chen Chen blinked, not fully understanding the meaning, he could only secretly memorize it, and then verify it one by one.
Speaking of which, they've basically walked more than half the way. Zheng Jike suddenly turned around, faced Chen Chen and said while walking backwards: "By the way, the most important thing I forgot to say is about the next freshman competition." ”
"Freshman contest?" Chenchen asked.
"That's right, this freshman contest happens every year. Except for those people in Luoxia Peak who like to go out to select disciples by themselves, basically the newcomers from each peak are recruited by you. Although each newcomer was personally sent by the sect, in fact, both sides were not very clear about their respective strengths. This freshman conference is used for both sides to explore the bottom. ”
"In addition, the most important point of this competition is that you can choose your own master according to the ranking of the competition. For example, the first is the first to pick, the second is the second to pick, and so on. The last few people took away a few peaks. ”
Can you choose your own master? Isn't this like the middle court? I'm familiar with this. "But be careful, once you have chosen your master, you can't change it before you leave the teacher, otherwise it will be against the teacher's ......"
Chen Chen nodded solemnly.
