Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Bully
Tianyan Sect is a behemoth, and it is very safe to practice and study in the sect, but it is not without troubles.
There is a clear hierarchy of monks, and there is a natural chain of contempt:
those who cultivate high despise those who cultivate low;
The contempt of the big sect is adrift;
those who have abundant wealth despise those who have no long things;
Family cultivators really despise those who seek immortals alone.
After all, the talents of Tianzong may die early, die horizontally, and grow crooked, but the family that has multiplied for thousands of years will not fall easily. Therefore, the great-grandsons and great-great-grandsons of many famous families and powerful people under the Tianyan Sect, even if their talents are not very good, they can still walk sideways.
Huo Rendong didn't know anyone except Qi Ci, she adhered to the attitude of calming things down, and never wanted to compete with the descendants of the Great Elder.
The weather is nice today.
Seven days have passed since Qi Ci left, and I don't know when he will return.
She carried the sword on her back and walked briskly towards the main peak, obviously her steps were not in a hurry, and she passed more than 100 meters in the blink of an eye.
There is not enough space and aura in the cave, and many disciples who have spare money in their hands will choose to rent a quiet room in the 'Jing'an Hall' under the main peak if they want to practice.
Unless there is a landslide outside, no one can disturb you during the rental time, and it is a good place to retreat and concentrate on research.
Huo Rongdong had been to Jing'an Hall several times, and she followed the information she had registered before to find the words 'Superior Class A Room'.
But the stone room was not empty, and the formation on the door was slowly running, obviously occupied.
There were two male disciples standing and gossiping at the door of the A-shaped room, Huo Rongdong stepped forward and said gently: "Fellow Daoist, this is the quiet room I have booked. β
When the two of them saw her, their eyes flashed with amazement, but it soon turned into intentional teasing, looking her up and down for a long time.
"I'm sorry, junior sister, we are used to the A-shaped room, and we can't settle in other rooms. There are so many quiet rooms in Jing'an Hall, so you can find another ownerless one. β
Bullying others so justifiably, Huo Rendong couldn't help but take a few more looks.
She skipped from the clothes of the other party's true disciple and glanced at the closed door of the stone room: "Who is inside?" β
"No comment."
A male disciple frowned slightly: "What, don't you want to?" β
The three true legends here got together, although they were not tense, but the atmosphere was also stagnant, and many disciples who passed by saw it and stayed away, for fear of being affected.
Si Hongkuo and Cao Jun also happened to come out of the quiet room, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?" β
The outer disciples who were waiting next to him to be responsible for collecting spirit stones and arranging registration were simply one or two big, and he saw that there were more and more true disciples gathered here...... But he can't afford to offend anyone.
Huo Rendong explained the matter clearly in a few words: "If you explain the reason, it is okay to give up the quiet room." Just tell the people inside, remember to book for yourself next time. β
The other party was probably a little jealous of Si Hongkuo and the two, and pretended to be calm: "Don't you understand the principle of coming first and then coming, there are already people inside, and it is impossible to move them out for you to use." β
Si Hongkuo glared at them, who didn't know that these two mischievous people were purely looking for newcomers, he waved his hand: "Senior Sister Huo, my quiet room is due, you can use mine." β
Huo Rongdong shook his head: "Thank you, Senior Brother Si, it's okay, I just want to find a place not to be disturbed to practice my sword, don't pick a place, I just use a medium one." β
The two disciples of the dove occupying the magpie's nest had already hid aside, and snorted when they heard the words: "You know each other." β
Cao Jun, who stood silently and never spoke, suddenly said: "If you practice swords, you can go to Luze's 'Listening Sword Pavilion' to try, where the sword intent of the sword cultivators of the past dynasties is sealed, which is helpful for understanding swordsmanship, but the daily quota is limited, only ten people enter, and you need to line up early." β
Huo Rendong hurriedly raised his hand and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you Senior Brother Cao for your suggestion." β
After saying hello, she turned and headed in the direction of the ashram, not wanting to talk to the men any more.
The outer disciple of Jing'an Hall always followed by her, and when she saw that she was being bullied like this, she was not even angry.
The medium meditation room was much worse than the upper class in terms of area and aura, and the outer disciples looked embarrassed: "It's all my fault, I didn't keep the first-class room booked by the fairy, which delayed my cultivation." β
Huo Rendong waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not your fault." β
Someone deliberately wants to find something, and they can't hide from it.
The outer disciple cautiously asked: "Fairy, let me tell you quietly, the person inside is Fairy Pei Ling, she is the true disciple of Elder Zou of Peach Blossom Valley, and she is from a big family. Did you offend her somewhere? β
"Those two are her followers, one is named Wang Wei and the other is called Wang Lian, both of whom are the heirs of her family. On weekdays, there are many bullies for outer disciples, one is darker than the other, you have to be careful. β
Huo Rongdong handed him the leased spirit stone and smiled: "I don't even know her, why offend?" But thank you for letting us know. β
This kind of petty fights and snatching things is simply a child's playhouse.
There are a lot of things like that, and if you don't have to argue about them, you probably won't be able to finish them until the evening.
She casually found a medium-sized quiet room to practice the newly learned "Demon Sword", and when the rental time was up, Huo Rongdong packed up her things and went down the mountain.
At this time, it was getting late, and the sunset hung on the horizon, dyeing the clouds red.
There were no people on the road, and the remaining warm sunlight covered the land, dyeing the green medicinal fields of Xidong as golden as wheat fields.
Huo Rongdong walked on the stone steps, a little absent-minded.
He had just walked past the foot of the mountain when he suddenly heard a shout of angry scolding, accompanied by a muffled sound of fists and feet.
She was in a state of flux, and ran over to take a look, and saw a group of white-clothed disciples beating a person, and they were extremely ruthless.
And the other medicine farmers in Xidongtian tried to stop them, but they couldn't stop them, and they would also take a few punches and kicks.
"Stopββ!"
She let out a roar.
When the medicine farmers who were originally helpless in the outer circle saw her, they immediately seemed to see the backbone of the main body, and they gave way one after another.
And those disciples who beat people also stopped when they saw the true disciple robes on her body.
The man who was beaten on the ground was Agua.
The boy curled up as a shrimp, his hemp-gray coat stained with mud and nosebleeds on his neckline.
Huo Rongdong and the other two medicine farmers stretched out their hands to help him up: "Ah Gua, how are you?" β
The young man's eyes were full of tears, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood: "Fairy ......"
"Is this junior sister trying to be nosy?"
A tall man in white walked out, waved his fist, and looked at her with a grin.
Huo Rendong glanced at the white clothes on the other party's body, which symbolized the inner disciple, and raised his eyes coldly: "I am looking for the true disciple of the True Monarch of the Cloud Migration, the realm of Qi Refining Great Perfection." This fellow Daoist, whether you are a teacher or a cultivator, you shouldn't call me 'junior sister', right? β
An inner disciple, who only cultivates in the middle stage of Qi refining, should be called Senior Sister Huo if he wants to climb the relationship!
was directly pierced, and the male disciple's face was very unsightly.
Huo Rongdong didn't intend to back down this time: "Private brawls are forbidden in the sect, what do you want to do here." β
Huang Kun viciously pointed at Ah Gua behind her: "Beat him because he owes a beating!" β
After that, he threw a purple-colored herb on the ground: "Just because the spirit plant handed in by this guy is fake, I didn't complete the task, and I was blind with eighty spirit stones, do you say I should fight!" β
Ah Gua forcibly shouted: "It's not fake, it's real tequive, I never lie!" β
Huang Kun snorted: "You haven't seen tequila before, it's white and bitter, your thing is rotten." A thousand white plants are purple in you, do you say it's bad! β
The white-clothed disciples around him also coaxed: "Okay, you, a little medicine farmer, not even a disciple of the outer sect, actually fooled the sect with bad spirit plants." He is deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and it stands to reason that he wants to be driven out of Xidongtian. β
"Get out of the way!"
"Let's pay him eighty spirit stones first."
Agua's eyes were red, and he was about to cry, but he couldn't say anything to argue: "I didn't, I ......"
The other medicine farmers also talked about dissuading them, and Huo Rongdong raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
She followed the temptation: "Ah Gua, don't worry, think about it, when planting this agave plant, did you find that it needs fertilizer and water sources, and it is particularly easy to attract birds and insect pests?" β
Seeing her gentle and calm face, the young man wiped the blood and tears from his face: "Fairy Mingjian, what you said is right. I've been growing agave for seven or eight years, and I can't be mistaken, although it consumes three times as much fertilizer and irrigation as other spiritual plants, it's agave and yes. β
In order to take care of the spiritual plant, Agua sunrise and day income and rest, carefully repel insects and birds, and work more than anyone else.
Huang Kun was about to raise his fist when he heard this: "Nonsense, I still don't want to accept liars!" β
His fist was blocked by a scabbard, and Huo Rongdong's eyebrows were indifferent: "Daoyou, do you want to hit someone in front of me?" Since you are lawless, why don't we go to the head of the house and argue about the merits? β
Huang Kun took half a step back: "You don't block me with the master, this matter can't just pass!" β
Huo Rongdong lowered his eyes: "Okay." β
She picked up the purple tequith grass on the ground and carefully put it into the jade box: "There is a record in the library pavilion's "Kunyu Spirit Plant Illustrated Book": The tequila is a spirit plant, and there is a 1 in 10 million probability of producing a variant, called purple jade tequive, which is very precious and has double the medicinal effect. β
Huang Kun was stunned: "I will believe you if you say?" β
Huo Rendong: "The book is in the library pavilion, you can borrow it yourself." I'm kind enough to tell you that it's page 43 of chapter 7. β
She raised the jade box in her hand again: "If you don't want it, I can leave this mutant tequila and give you an ordinary one." β
Huang Kun and the henchmen behind him glanced at each other, his trip was actually to find fault and get some spirit stones by the way, but Huo Rendong was the true legend, and they didn't dare to offend easily.
"Okay, for the sake of the true disciple's face, this matter will be settled."
Huang Kun pointed at Agua, "If you are so good, you should be able to complete the doubling planting task next month, right?" β
The boy straightened his back, refusing to show the slightest sign of weakness.
The white-clothed inner door walked away, scolding and scolding as they walked.
The more Huang Kun thought about it, the more angry he became, and muttered: "Who is this woman, a true heir, why are you protecting the medicine farmer?" β
The other tugged at his sleeve: "Forget it, this matter is our fault." And I just remembered who this was. β
"Who?"
"Huo Rongdong, the one who came up to apprentice on the way to the heart, the Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Root!"
*
When everyone was gone, Ah Gua picked up the farm tools in the field and patted them.
He looked at his field: "Fairy, thank you just now, but the sect has complicated interpersonal relationships, and you shouldn't conflict with people." β
Huo Rongdong didn't care about this, she asked, "Can you complete the doubling task mentioned by that person just now?" β
Ah Gua shook his head with a sad face: "Even if I swallow the elixir to death, my spiritual power is not enough to use twice the spring breeze and rain trick of the field, they want to force me to leave Xidongtian, it doesn't matter to the fairy, I can still raise spirit beasts." β
The sun was sinking and the sun was getting lower, and there was only the last trace of its aftertaste. The red of the horizon faded and turned into a bitter black.
Huo Rendong's voice drifted along the evening wind: "But you like planting, and you're good at planting, why give up what you like?" β
She pulled something out of the storage bag, as if holding a cloud of glossy droplets.
"This is to see the water, containing the power of rivers, lakes and seas, I will build a small wind and cloud array for you in the medicine field, and you can use the spiritual power of water to water the plants."
