Chapter 7 Entrance to the Outer Gate
Where is this? Who am I?
Zhang Zheng finally broke free from the darkness, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a completely unfamiliar room. In addition, his head was dizzy, and he even forgot his surname for a while.
Lying down and waiting for her mind to sober up a little, she propped up her body and got out of bed and moved her hands and feet, only to be surprised to find that the injuries on her body were all healed, except for the dull pain that would occur when using her divine sense, they were intact.
The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and a gray-robed girl came in, and she was also surprised to see Zhang Zheng finally wake up.
From her mouth, Zhang Zheng finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
This is a cave in the Shocking Wind Mountain of Wanxuanmen, and the aura is strong, so she is arranged here to recuperate. The woman was the servant who was in charge of the sweeping and tending here, and the elders had given her the responsibility to take care of her during this time.
It turned out that when Zhang Zheng's life was hanging by a thread that day, he happened to meet a monk chasing the white light, and when he saw that there was a demon cultivator harming people here, he immediately took action to fight with the demon cultivator and saved Zhang Zheng, but unfortunately the demon cultivator escaped with the token. Fortunately, her soul had not yet been fully refined, so she only needed to be recuperated for a while.
Zhang Zheng recalled the sinister day and the dazzling figure he saw, and only felt that there was an inexplicable emotion quietly nurturing in his heart.
There is a longing for the strong, there is a gratitude to the benefactor, and there is a strange feeling that makes her unpredictable.
"Who is that monk?"
The gray-robed woman frowned, thinking about what the elder said at that time, and only replied: "I don't know about this, but listening to what Elder Zhengyuan said, it seems that he mentioned the kid of the Lin family."
The Lin family? Lin Xiaoxiao or Lin Yihan?
The only monks of the Lin family that Zhang Zheng knew were these two geniuses who had heard from the gossip.
As for who saved her, she will naturally have the opportunity to find out in the future, and now her return is the most important thing.
"Trouble Daoyou to take care of me for many days, since I have already recovered a lot, I better leave as soon as possible. Dare to ask Daoyou to convey my gratitude to Wan Xuanzong for taking me in for healing. ”
After speaking, Zhang Zheng was about to leave.
The gray-robed woman hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, and said with a smile: "The elders have ordered, this time your injuries are mostly due to the negligence of Wan Xuanzong, which gave the demon cultivator a chance to take advantage of, Wan Xuanzong must be responsible for this, you can stay with peace of mind." Just ......"
Zhang Zheng saw that she hesitated slightly, as if there was something unspeakable, so he said: "Wan Xuanzong can be taken in below, it is already a blessing in the next, and Taoist friends don't have to mind."
Only then did the gray-robed woman smile, "Daoyou is really open-minded. It's just that considering that the qualifications of Daoyou are still a little lacking, I can only aggrieved Daoyou to stay in the outer gate temporarily. But don't worry about it, the outer disciples of my Wanxuan Sect are also well paid, and as long as they pass the outer door test once every ten years and have excellent results, they can be promoted to the inner gate. ”
It is a great luck to be able to save a life, and now it is an unexpected joy to be able to stay in Wanxuanmen, Zhang Zheng naturally won't mind, and even if she enters the inner gate, I'm afraid it will only be a waste of the resources of an inner disciple.
After saying goodbye to the woman, Zhang Zheng left the Inner Gate and went to the Outer Gate Elder to receive the token and annual salary of her outer disciple.
Wan Xuanzong covers an area of one million hectares, and there are lofty mountains and mountains between the inner gate and the outer gate, even if there is a spirit beast to make a frame, it takes half an hour to arrive.
As soon as he stepped out of the boundary between the inner and outer doors, the concentration of aura suddenly decreased, if the inner door aura was generally fifty percent, the outer door would only be less than one percent. No wonder everyone desperately wants to go to the inner door.
Zhang Zheng has been in a coma for nearly half a month, the disciple test has long been over, and the new disciples have also been properly arranged. When Zhang Zheng came, there was only one outer gate elder in the head of the outer gate, and there were few monks receiving tasks.
Her original clothes had long been tattered under the long whip, and the gray-robed woman who cared for her had no clothes, so she had to change into a simple gray servant's uniform.
Dressed as an inner door servant, she attracted a lot of attention.
The monk can stay on the face and stay young forever, and then only when the longevity is about to expire will he show his old age. The elder of the outer gate in front of him had gray hair and chaotic eyes, and it was obvious that there was not much left of Shouyuan.
Indeed, this elder of the outer sect is surnamed He, and now he is in the late stage of foundation building, and he has less than ten years to live, and seeing that there is no hope of a breakthrough, he should finally report back to the sect and invite himself to be on duty here.
Unlike the few expressions of disdain in the eyes of Zhang Zheng who looked at Zhang Zheng around, Elder He didn't ask about her clothes at all, only checked her identity as an outer disciple, and gave her a bamboo blue outer disciple uniform and an identity token engraved with her name, plus this year's Yu Lu.
"The outer disciples live in Sushui Peak, Huanhe Peak and Jiulu Peak, this is the accommodation room map, the gray has been inhabited, you choose one by yourself, and engrave the door number on the token to move in."
Zhang Zheng is not in a hurry to cultivate, and her requirements for aura are not very high, but she needs to realize the Tao, and the terrain is better than the remote and quiet, so she chose the Nine Furnace Peak, which is closer to the Library Pavilion.
Seeing that she had chosen a place with thin aura, Elder He only glanced at her strangely and continued to talk about the rules of the outer door.
"Wan Xuanzong is not strict with the outer disciples, and the new disciples do not have to be responsible for chores in the first two years, and every year there are fifteen bottles of Bigu Pill, five bottles of Qi Nourishing Pill, one bottle of Yunling Pill and one hundred and twenty lower-grade spirit stones. After two years, the disciple needs to pay ten contribution points to the sect every year, and the contribution points can also be used for the exchange of many things, which you will slowly understand later. Contribution points can be earned by receiving chores in the office hall, and of course, you can also go to the task hall to receive tasks, it is all up to you to choose. ”
"The outer gate will hold an outer door test every ten years, and during the same period, the beginners will compete with each other, and those with excellent results can be promoted to the inner gate, and there are also those who are lucky enough to be favored by the elders of the inner gate and become a personal disciple. In addition, disciples of the outer sect will be tested for ten years after they have been introduced, and those who fail to meet the standards will be expelled from the Wanxuanmen and removed from the disciple status. There are also some miscellaneous things, all in the disciples' rules, which can be read by themselves. ”
Zhang Zheng is not interested in the external test, but the disciple test ten years later is a matter of concern.
Leaving from the head of the outer gate, Zhang Zheng went straight back to his new residence. This time, there was no gray-robed woman to pay for the spirit beast for her, so she could only rent the spirit beast by herself, one at a time, a low-grade spirit stone, which was really expensive and made her flesh hurt.
No. 31, West Seventeenth Courtyard of Jiulu Peak, this is Zhang Zheng's residence for many years to come.
Different from the poverty of the inn, this time the place is a separate three-entry small house, but it is just as empty inside, just some simple furnishings, there is an osmanthus tree in the courtyard, a small stone table, two stone benches are placed under it. However, there are a few times of elegance and refinement, and the meaning of enjoying flowers in the courtyard.
Zhang Zheng first carved the storage bag issued by the sect into his divine sense, and carefully counted the contents inside, which was not different from what the elder said, in addition to a book of the cultivation realm currency qi refining period exercises-"Qi Cultivation Formula". Then he put away the one spirit stone left on his body and a small pile of spirit stones in the storage bag.
This vermilion ......
Zhang Zheng pinched the thumb-sized red fruit and looked at it for a long time.
I don't know what kind of fruit she got from her master, she had never seen it in a book before. I don't know if the elders of Wanxuanzong saw this thing when she was unconscious, or maybe they recognized it after seeing it?
Forget it, next time I look for an opportunity to go to the library to rummage, the nine-fold land is vast, and Wanxuanmen is the first sect, maybe there will be relevant records.
Throw Zhu Guoyu into the storage bag, then change into the outer disciple clothes, and tie the storage bag and token around his waist. She took out the disciple's code and looked through it carefully.
After reading it, it was almost dusk, and my mind was a little faintly swollen, and the previous injuries were not yet complete.
As Elder He said, Wanxuanmen is not strict with its outer disciples, and only needs to pay contribution points for the first two years, and ten contribution points per year after two years, which is not much.
The elixir garden also has three contribution points in January, and there is no need to worry about being kicked out of the sect if you can't pay the contribution points.
Of course, Zhang Zheng is most concerned about the information of the library pavilion.
There are two library pavilions in Wanxuanmen, one at the inner door and one at the outer door.
The outer gate library is in Juxian Peak, which is divided into five floors and four areas. To enter the first layer, you need to pay ten lower-grade spirit stones, the second layer requires ten contribution points plus 100 lower-grade spirit stones, the third layer requires 50 contribution points plus 200 lower-grade spirit stones, the fourth layer requires 100 contribution points plus 400 lower-grade spirit stones, and the fifth layer requires 200 contribution points and 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones. And these fourth and fifth floors are not accessible to ordinary people, and they can only enter after paying the entrance fee after receiving the sect reward.
And this is only a condition for entering the Library Pavilion, if you want to read the content inside, you need additional contribution points and spirit stones, the more precious and high-grade it is, the more expensive it is.
Each floor is divided into four areas, which are exercises, methods, four techniques, and miscellaneous books.
Needless to say, the exercises that are the foundation of monks are naturally the rarest. To a certain extent, if the monk's qualification is the starting point, then the quality of the exercises determines the width of a monk's path and the gold content of each stage. Therefore, most monks do not start cultivating at will after entering the foundation building, but try their best to choose a good practice, even if they are bankrupt for it, which is why most monks have to worship the big sects and elders when they break their heads. For monks who do not have the resources to do so, the exercises are a major flaw in the path of cultivation.
Needless to say, the method and the four techniques are not too much. The former refers to all kinds of techniques, and the latter refers to the four types of skills that are prevalent in the cultivation realm today—alchemy, refining, talismans, and formations.
The last area of miscellaneous books, all-encompassing, everything, is also the main purpose of Zhang Zheng's trip.
After deciding to go to the first floor of the Library Pavilion on the second day, Zhang Zheng began to cultivate. Fortunately, except for the dull pain in the divine sense, there was no abnormality in the cultivation.
