Chapter 4 Seeking Immortals
Shaking the blood off the knife, Ding Xiu put the knife back into its sheath and left the woodland.
One day, two days, time passed, and at the exit of the valley, from time to time, there were miscellaneous disciples holding heads.
"Congratulations, junior brother, this is your outer disciple's waist card!"
"Thank you, brother!"
Unkempt, blood-stained miscellaneous disciples took over the waist card with trembling hands, and in the past two days of fighting, they have passed by death several times, for what, for this small bronze medal.
After becoming an outer disciple, you can go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to select the internal strength and mental method, and cultivate the true qi, compared with the miscellaneous disciples who do chores every day, it is not an exaggeration to say that it soars to the sky.
"Ahem." Li Dashan spread out the silk cloth and looked at the blood stains on it.
Coughing up blood is getting more and more frequent, and it seems that most of my time I won't survive this winter.
Li Dashan put away the silk cloth, "Did Ding Xiu come out?" β
The outer disciple said: "Senior Brother Li, I haven't seen Senior Brother Ding for the time being. β
Li Dashan has no children and no daughters under his knees, and after getting along with him over the years, he has already treated Ding Xiu as half a son, although he knows that it is unlikely that Ding Xiu will come out alive, but he still has a trace of hope in his heart.
"Senior Brother Chen!"
"Senior Brother Chen!"
Li Dashan looked up, and a tall figure crashed into his eyes.
This is a big man, his arms are thicker than ordinary people's thighs, burly and majestic, his skin is dark, and he looks like an iron tower.
Deacon of the outer gate, Chen Hu!
Li Dashan frowned slightly, and snorted coldly: "Chen Hu, what are you doing here?" β
Chen Hu walked into the pavilion, sat down in front of the coffee table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Li, you are sick, you should not move much, I came here to do a good deed, collect the body of that kid Ding Xiu for you!" β
Li Dashan's brows suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "How did you know that Ding Xiu would not come out alive!" β
Chen Hu was stunned, could it be that Li Dashan secretly sent someone to protect Ding Xiu.
No way! For miscellaneous disciples, the danger in the valley is enough to be fatal, and it is too late to protect themselves, and it is impossible to sacrifice their lives to protect others.
Of course, if it was just to help kill someone, there were still miscellaneous disciples who were willing to do it.
As long as the price is right!
This old dog, put it here and bluff with Lao Tzu!
Chen Hu sneered, no longer paying attention to Li Dashan, judging from the information sent back by the personnel who were planted next to the old dog, this old dog is afraid that it will not be able to survive this winter.
A dying man is no longer a threat to him.
As soon as the old dog dies, his people will be able to take over the affairs of the old dog, and then he will have another way to make money.
The remnant sun was like blood, staining the mountains and forests red, Chen Hu put down the teacup, sneered at Li Dashan, stood up suddenly, and looked at the exit of the valley, "Three days have come, follow me in to collect the corpse!" β
There is a time limit for the promotion test of miscellaneous disciples, and those who have not left the valley for three days, whether they are dead or alive, cannot be promoted to outer disciples.
Ding Xiu's kid must have been killed by the three miscellaneous disciples he arranged, and he should be hiding in the cave he revealed in advance.
"Yes!"
The two outer disciples followed behind Chen Hu and walked towards the exit.
"Senior Brother Li! Chen Hu ......"
Li Dashan was depressed and sighed: "Let him go!" β
Three days had passed, and Ding Xiu still hadn't been able to get out of the valley after all.
"Senior brother, are we really going to collect Na Ding Xiu's body?" An outer disciple asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head, "Senior brother, you are stupid, how can senior brother collect the body of that kid, senior brother is going to whip the corpse!" β
Chen Hu didn't say a word, he was a very good-looking person, and he would repay him.
was rejected by Ding Xiu back then, which made him a joke between his brothers and sisters for a while.
This matter has become a pimple in his heart, a demon in his heart.
Killing Ding Xiu is not enough to vent his hatred, he also has to whip his corpse and crush his bones to ashes in order to extinguish the fire in his heart!
"Chen, Senior Brother Chen......"
The outer disciple who walked in front widened his eyes and looked straight at the exit of the valley with a ghost-like expression.
A figure stumbled out of the valley, carrying a head in his hand.
"Chen, Senior Brother Chen, Ding Xiu, it's Ding Xiu!"
Looking at Ding Xiu, who was staggering over, Chen Hu was stunned.
How can it be! How could this Ding Xiu get out of the valley alive!
No way! That's impossible!
With Ding Xiu's strength, it was impossible to escape the attack and killing of the three miscellaneous disciples!
But the ...... is in front of you
"Senior Brother Li, it's Senior Brother Ding, Senior Brother Ding came out alive!"
Li Dashan was stunned, and an old face smiled directly into a chrysanthemum, "I saw it." β
β¦β¦
"Have you heard, Ding Xiu passed the promotion test of the miscellaneous disciple and became an outer disciple!"
"Ding Xiu, that brother plus money?"
"That's him!"
"With Ding Xiu's strength, it's impossible to pass the test and become an outer disciple!"
"It's mostly lucky, lucky to get through!"
"It's unreasonable, a guy like Ding Xiu can become an outer disciple, I%%@#......"
No matter what the outside world says, it is an indisputable fact that Ding Xiu has become an outer disciple.
After becoming an outer disciple, although he doesn't have to do chores like a miscellaneous disciple, he also has tasks assigned by the door to do.
These tasks range from simple and easy to time-consuming and dangerous.
Regularly patrolling the mountains, regularly going to the sect's industry as a guardian, being a supervisor and supervising the work of miscellaneous disciples, etc., are simple and easy tasks.
Things like going down the mountain to collect debts, escorting cargo ships, caravans, etc., are time-consuming and dangerous tasks.
Of course, if you can become a law enforcement disciple or a blacksmith in the Foundry Hall, then you don't need to do the tasks assigned by the door.
It's a pity that neither law enforcement disciples nor foundry blacksmiths can do what ordinary outer disciples want to do.
Law enforcement disciples need a way and a relationship.
The blacksmith of the Foundry Hall must be skilled, and he must be able to forge steel knives, steel swords and other instruments on his own.
Because of Li Dashan's cover, the task assigned to Ding Xiu is either to patrol the mountain regularly, or to be a supervisor, which is simple and easy, and he has a lot of time to cultivate.
It's just that for Ding Xiu, cultivation is impossible to cultivate, and he won't cultivate in this life.
Although he became an outer disciple, Ding Xiu did not forget his original intention and still helped the miscellaneous disciples work every day.
"Senior Brother Ding, why do you have to add money again!"
The miscellaneous junior brother was speechless, this senior brother Ding has become a disciple of the outer sect, why is he still looking like he is dying to ask for money.
"Senior brother, one of my outer disciples came to help you pick up dung, say how facedy you are, besides, I didn't add much, just add one more article."
A penny, a penny is also money!
"Senior brother, if I'm not mistaken, this is your sixth year as a miscellaneous disciple in the Sword Washing Gate, and you only have four years left......"
"Okay, Senior Brother Ding, don't say it, I'll just give it!"
Hey, this Senior Brother Ding is really special and has lost her money!

"Run!"
β¦β¦
"Xiao Ding, I'll see Senior Brother Zhou later, be smart, as long as you can do things under Senior Brother Zhou, Chen Hu won't dare to do anything to you!"
Li Dashan said, taking out a red sandalwood box from under the bed, which contained half of his life savings.
After winter, he coughed up blood more and more frequently, time was running out, and Ding Xiu refused to go down the mountain, so he could only find another backer for Ding Xiu before he died.
Ding Xiu nodded slightly, and Ding Xiu was grateful to the senior brother in front of him who was fifteen years older than him.
Over the years, if it weren't for Senior Brother Li's protection, most of him would have been killed by Chen Hu, where would he still have the opportunity to earn copy coins and load life copies for cultivation!
Although he no longer needs Li Dashan's protection now, after all, this is the kindness of an elder before he dies, and it is difficult for him to refuse.
Senior Brother Zhou in Li Dashankou is named Zhou Quan, a disciple of the inner gate of the Sword Washing Gate, and the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Outer Gate, and he is the deacon with the greatest power in the outer gate of the Sword Washing Gate.
Zhou Quan's cousin Zhou Ren is a true disciple of the Washing Sword Sect, a deacon of the inner gate, a first-class Jianghu in his early forties, and is expected to become a quasi-top before the age of sixty.
"Senior Brother Zhou, this is what I said about Ding Xiu." Li Dashan bent his back, nodded his head, and introduced Ding Xiu behind him.
Ding Xiu took a step forward and bowed, "Senior Brother Zhou!" β
"You are Ding Xiu, you really gave birth to a good skin as rumored, no wonder Chen Hu's daughter will take a fancy to you."
Ding Xiu was born handsome, dignified, extraordinary, and has a bookish atmosphere that people who practice martial arts do not have, which can be described in eight words, that is, a humble gentleman, gentle as jade.
After practicing martial arts, it added a heroic spirit, a trace of fierceness, such a very flavorful man, as long as a woman with a normal sexual orientation, there is nothing he doesn't like.
Over the years, as long as Ding Xiu went to Chunfeng Building, the girls in Chunfeng Building did not have a single indisputable head break.
The three of them drank tea and chatted, and Ding Xiu occasionally interjected, mainly Li Dashan and Zhou Quan.
"Senior Brother Li, don't worry, Xiao Ding's affairs are on me, Senior Brother Ma of the Law Enforcement Hall is already old, and he will retire after the year, when the time comes, I will definitely take Xiao Ding in and let him be a law enforcement disciple!"
Li Dashan arched his hand and said, "Then please Senior Brother Zhou, Xiao Ding, thank you Senior Brother Zhou yet!" β
Ding Xiu: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou!" β
Zhou Quan smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." β
After Ding Xiu and the two left, Zhou Quan opened the rosewood box, and there were more than fifty gold beads lying densely on the yellow silk cloth.
"This Li Dashan, in order to pave the way for Ding Xiu, I'm afraid the coffin was taken out, but it's a pity."
β¦β¦
In the depths of winter, the snow fills the cold mountains.
Li Dashan did not survive this winter, he died, in the wind and snow, the funeral procession was pulled into a long line, Li Dashan was righteous, and he had an excellent reputation in the outer gate, and there were many disciples of the outer door who came to see him off, and there were many miscellaneous disciples.
Ding Xiu helped the spirit, walking in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Li Dashan was buried, and Ding Xiu stood in front of the grave for a long time.
Princes and generals, peddlers and pawns, noble or lowly, as long as they are still mortals, they will not escape life, old age, sickness and death.
Ding Xiu raised his head, his eyes passed through the wind and snow, as if he wanted to see through the sky.
It is said that there are immortals in the world, but I don't know where the immortals are or where to find them.
Crossing this world, with the golden finger in his body, Ding Xiu is naturally unwilling to be ordinary, and he doesn't want to turn into a handful of loess after a hundred years.
He wants to become an immortal, and he wants to live forever.
"It is said that the Supreme Elder of the Sword Washing Sect is an innate great grandmaster, and he has gone to the sea to find an immortal, so this matter should be true."
The Sword Washing Gate is one of the top ten righteous sects in Qingguo, and only the sects of the innate great masters can be rated as the top ten.
What does it mean, it shows that there is an innate martial art that directly points to the innate in the Sword Washing Gate.
The master of the Sword Washing Sect is a top master, who has been in retreat for nearly 20 years, and most of them are seeking to break through the innate method.
Let's figure it slowly, as long as he can find an immortal in his lifetime, with the golden finger, he will have a chance to transform into an ordinary person.
