Fish in the Pond Chapter 5 The Truth of the Medicine Garden
In the afternoon, the sun was scorching, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets of the town.
After Xiao Chen came out of the Su family ancestral hall, he walked aimlessly on the street alone.
At this time, a group of disciples from the outer sect of the Su family were gathering under a big tree on the side of the street, talking about the topic in today's ancestral hall with great interest:
"Cough, this Xiao Chen, I don't know where he got the courage, he actually dared to argue with our future young master of the Su family, didn't he just be punished by the patriarch to guard the tomb for a few months, I don't know what happened recently, he was tied up, hahaha, you say it's funny."
"No, I think I'm probably going to get out of here this time!"
"Look at how happy your uncle is, do you think that kid is out, Miss Yutong is your dish? Wake up, there are still so many inner disciples waiting in line. ”
"I don't know what kind of blessing this guy has cultivated in his life, it's obviously just a clay leg of the Su family, but Su Yutong likes to revolve around him......"
"Hehe, I heard that several elders in the clan have gone to the ancestral hall, and this time that kid will definitely get out."
Xiao Chen, who happened to pass by near this big tree, heard these words, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
At this time, the last disciple to speak suddenly turned around, and happened to meet Xiao Chen's gaze on the other side of the street, and he was only slightly surprised, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with their conversation.
Especially after seeing the self-deprecation on Xiao Chen's face, he seemed to be more firm in his judgment - this guy was really kicked out.
Xiao Chen didn't have anything to do with these people, he just looked at each other twice, and didn't want to bother with words.
It's like a tiger in a zoo, and it's very meaningless to talk to a little milk dog barking for a while.
However, maybe the puppies find it meaningful.
"Hey......" the disciple crutched the others with his arm, "Look, look, I'm right, fuck off." ”
A group of people turned around.
"I don't think he looks like he's going to get out?"
"You're a big old man, that's called a forced smile, man, who doesn't want to save face?"
"Huh......?"
It's not just someone who 'huh'.
Everyone's eyes suddenly shifted along the line of sight of the person who spoke, and they all converged on a place two feet away behind Xiao Chen.
It was a fresh and beautiful figure.
The white clothes are fluttering, like the first bloom of the lotus, and it looks particularly bright and moving in the sun. Su Yutong stopped and stopped, looking around from time to time, as if he was looking for someone.
Sure enough, after discovering Xiao Chen in front of him, a trace of joy immediately flashed on her pretty face.
"Xiao Chen!"
She called out from afar, and then walked briskly over.
Xiao Chen turned around and smiled at the girl: "Are you looking for me?" ”
Su Yutong nodded, and then saw those strange-looking Su family disciples under the big tree, and his willow eyebrows frowned slightly.
She usually has little contact with the inner disciples of the Su family, and the outer disciples are not familiar with each other at all except Xiao Chen.
"What's going on?" Su Yutong asked.
"It's nothing, passing by here, I happened to hear a dog barking under the tree, and I just listened here for a while." Xiao Chen smiled: "Let's go, talk while walking, it's too noisy here." ”
"Hmm." The girl nodded.
The two of them were about to turn around, and the group of outer disciples under the tree suddenly jumped up violently.
"His grandmother's, who is he scolding for being a dog?"
"Is this kid tired of being alive?"
At this time, another teenager trotted over from a distance, shouting as he ran, "Xiao Chen...... No, Xiao Protector, wait, wait a minute! ”
The young man held a tray in his hand, on which was stacked a brand new Su family protector costume, and on the red and black brocade, a silver waist plate glittered.
The young man came to him, presented the brand-new costume with both hands, and said, "Xiao Protector, this is your new costume and Dharma Protector waist card, the patriarch asked me to hand it over to you, please put it away." ”
Xiao Protector!
The group of outer disciples under the tree felt a hot slap on their faces, as if they had been slapped a few times.
Not only did he not get out, but he also became the protector of the Su family?
In a surprised gaze, Xiao Chen picked up the waist card pressed on top of the costume and said to the young man:
"If you have this, you don't need clothes, I ...... Not very used to it. He smiled, bowed slightly to the young man, and said, "Thank you." ”
Su Yutong's beautiful eyes lit up, and he happily congratulated: "Congratulations." ”
Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders and was powerless to complain.
He was not interested in this Dharma protector at all, what he wanted was to be able to become an inner disciple, enter the Su family library to read the cultivation exercises, and start cultivating as soon as possible.
After all, at least you have to become a sword cultivator before you dare to go out and appreciate the coquettishness of this cultivation world.
Otherwise, if you leave the town, I'm afraid you won't survive three episodes......
It's just that he didn't expect Su Changchun to send him away with just a Dharma protector position, it is obvious that the Su family just wants him to continue to be a tool man, and he does not intend to be included in the inner door.
"Xiao-dust!"
The sound dragged on for a long time, and it could be heard squeezed out between the teeth, full of thick hostility.
It's been an eventful day......
"Again... How... What... Finish! Xiao Chen was indeed a little impatient, his eyes lit up, and he turned to glare at the group of outer disciples under the tree.
Well? I saw this group of outer disciples who were just violent, and at this time, they shrunk their heads like turtles, and their heads shook like rattles.
"Lao Tzu called you, Lu Si!"
Xiao Chen turned around again, oh, it turned out that the sound was from the other side of the street......
The two disciples walked over carrying the donkey-faced man lying on the stretcher, and stopped when they passed in front of him, Lu Sihan on the stretcher propped up his body, gritted his teeth and said:
"Today you break my two ribs, and in a month, the clan will be bigger, and Lao Tzu will break you ten!"
"Oh, it's you. Okay, well, the clan assembly will not be gone. Xiao Chen looked a scoundrel, "But now you'd better get out of here, lest I be happy and want to break you off again." ”
"You! Xiao Chen! I will repay this day's disgrace twice as much. ”
"Don't beep, you don't have a chance." Xiao Chen's tone was so calm that there was no suspense directly, and it was as casual as eating and sleeping.
With that, he turned around and walked out of the town with the girl, as if he had no interest in the slightest disturbance behind him.
This time, it was the turn of the group of outer disciples under the tree who were shocked.
Lu Si, as the personal entourage of the Su family, was in full swing, and none of them dared to provoke him, but he was actually broken by this guy?
What happened in the Su family ancestral hall?
With envious, jealous and hateful eyes, he looked at the pair of young men and women who left side by side, and forgot his words for a while.
……
Two familiar figures, strolling through the streets of the town.
Today's atmosphere in the town is a little different: whether it is the shopkeeper and Xiao Er who are resting under the eaves of the teahouse and wine shop, or the pedestrians on the road and the street vendors, their eyes looking at Xiao Chen seem to have changed.
This is the mud leg of the Su family?
I haven't seen him for a few months, and he doesn't know when he has faded away from the silly look of children like iron pillars and dog babies in the countryside.
Under a closer look, his eyes are firm, and his handsome face is full of the vigor of a young man, but the whole person exudes a calmness and composure that is very inconsistent with his age.
Did you really climb the high branch of the Su family?
Is raw rice cooked for rice?
The eyes of the townspeople, Xiao Chen saw it in his eyes, and treated it indifferently.
Even if I occasionally hear a few teasing whispers, I don't feel at ease, but it's still the same reason: if you are bitten by a mosquito a few times, you have to chase it all over the street with a kitchen knife?
Not necessarily.
Heaven and earth are against the journey, time passes, not to mention that it is just a small town, and sooner or later it will have to leave. Wouldn't it be boring if there weren't a few mosquitoes in life to make a cameo?
He turned his head and asked the girl beside him, "You were looking for me just now?" ”
"Well, women can't enter the clan ancestral hall." The girl smiled happily: "But I heard from other disciples that you have been promoted to the protector of the Su family, so I know that you are fine." ”
The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they had come to the outside of the town.
The girl looked up at a pale cyan peak more than ten miles away, and asked, "I heard that you are going to the Sky Cliff to garrison the medicine garden?" ”
Xiao Chen replied: "Yes, I didn't want to go. ”
"Then don't go."
The girl's voice was slightly eager, Xiao Chen felt that something seemed wrong, and asked:
"Why?"
"Most of the Dharma Protector disciples who were sent to garrison before have withdrawn, and a few of them have even been seriously injured. I heard that the medicine garden is a little weird. ”
"Weird?" Xiao Chen was a little surprised: "What do you mean?" ”
Su Yutong shook his head, "Everyone else says that, but I don't know what it is." However, I know that the medicine garden was taken back by the Su family from the Wu family in Jiangfeng Town, and I heard that the Wu family has recently promoted a few first-class martial artists, and they will come over from time to time to invade and use the disciples in the medicine garden as whetstones. ”
Hiss ~ Whetstone......
Xiao Chen didn't know whether his heart was cold or excited, and he continued to ask:
"Then why don't you send inner disciples here to garrison them? As far as I know, most of the inner disciples are already in the Awakened Cultivation bloodline, so they must be stronger than me, a 'second-rate martial artist', right? ”
"You don't know why?" Su Yutong asked.
Xiao Chen shook his head.
Su Yutong explained: "It's just an ordinary medicine garden, and its value can't make the clan use cultivation disciples, after all, the cultivation disciples in each family are limited, and they are the core combat power of the family and the future of the family." Even if you want to use a cultivator, you will be sent to a more valuable place like the Spirit Mine, because once the two sides fight, death and injury are inevitable. Got it? ”
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I understand ...... very well."
Ma Dan, I know that there is no good thing, and the clan is letting him die.
In the cultivation world, those who mix the bottom are really like a mustard......
It's just that the Su family's arrangement obviously didn't take his life seriously.
And, as if there is something else weird there?
Seeing Xiao Chen's hesitation, Su Yutong persuaded: "So, if you can choose to go somewhere else, don't go to the medicine garden." ”
"No, I have to go." Xiao Chen's tone was firm.
"Why?" Su Yutong was very puzzled, "You are just a second-rate martial artist, those are genuine first-class martial artists, you don't want to die?" ”
In fact, Xiao Chen felt that that place should be very suitable for Gou to get up and develop, looking at the girl in front of him who cared about him, Xiao Chen explained:
"Life is naturally wanted, but I just think that my luck is ...... I don't think I will meet a cultivator there. ”
I~phew!
How does this crow's beak feel like a big flag for itself......
