Chapter 71: Oppression
It didn't take long for the time for the miscellaneous hall to agree on the distribution of resource rations, and there was a commotion on the side of the Jiayi School, as if it was welcoming someone.
Xiao Mo and the others were not in a hurry, because they knew that the deacons of the Academy Palace would give priority to starting with the first house, and then the second house...... The third one went to the third house...... After that, there are other schools, and so on.
The commotion that took place over there must have been the sound of greeting the deacon of the miscellaneous hall.
However, unlike the imaginary cheering and happy sounds, next, there was a faint boiling on the side of the Jiayi Academy, but soon, it became dead silent, and there was a trace of sadness and anger in the air.
"What's going on?"
In the third school building, Xiao Mo and the others looked at each other, although the third school they were in was not much away from the first school building, and some movement over there could be heard, but after all, it was not clear that it was separated by two courtyards.
Obviously it should be a day of great joy, why is there a boiling and restless sound in the Jiayi School, is something happening?
Quietly, the eight people in the third school hall glanced closer, and their expressions were not as indifferent as before.
Although in the courtyard, the eight of them are not yet familiar with each other, and they belong to eight individuals with very strong personalities, but if something happens, they will be a whole, no matter what the situation, they must bear it together and face it.
Soon, the sound of footsteps started, Xiao Mo and the others heard that there was a sound walking out of the first school and entering the second school building.
And it didn't take long for the same restless sound as Jiayi Schoolhouse to sound, but it quickly quieted down again, and the faces of Xiao Mo and the others were even more strange, and they faintly felt that today's matter was not so smooth.
"It's coming!"
The eight of them got closer again, faintly forming a group, listening to the footsteps outside the courtyard gate, knowing that the group of people had already set off from the second school building and rushed to their side.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate, and then, without waiting for the people inside, the people outside pushed open the door and walked in.
There were three people who came.
Of these three people, two of them were blue deacons, who were obviously the deacons of the school palace who were distributed by the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to these outer court disciples today. The other person was more special, he turned out to be a disciple of the outer courtyard of the Daoist Palace, dressed in white, about twenty-one or twelve years old, with eyebrows as thin as a sword, and a kind of arrogant and disdainful coldness on his face.
"Isn't today the day when the Academy Palace will give us a ration of resources, it's enough for two deacons to come, how can there be one more outer court disciple? And looking at him, he doesn't look like our new outer court disciple, but like an old outer court disciple who lives in the Heaven and Earth House. ”
Xiao Mo frowned slightly, and secretly said in his heart, seeing that the situation was a little unusual.
Between the new outer court disciples and the old outer court disciples, although the clothes and attire are the same, there is still a big difference in appearance and temperament. The new disciples of the outer court, such as the eight people in the third courtyard, are all ignorant and immature, and they are full of longing for the life of the school palace, but this outer court disciple has a calm and free temperament on his face, and he should have been familiar with the life of the school palace for a long time and integrated into it.
Although the difference between the two is troublesome, it is actually easy to see the difference when compared.
However, although Xiao Mo saw that something was wrong, he didn't speak, quietly waiting for them to take the initiative to speak.
Really.
After the three of them walked into the Jiasan Academy, their eyes swept over Xiao Mo and the other eight newly promoted outer court disciples, and then nodded casually, and said: "Yes, it seems that the eight people have arrived, so it will save us trouble, now come forward and come to receive your ration for this month!"
After speaking, the blue-clothed deacon at the front, with a wave of his hand, appeared in the palm of his hand eight white silk cloth bags of the same color and size, and on each cloth bag, a delicate Taoist character pattern was embroidered with black thin thread, which was obviously the symbol of the Taoist Palace.
The eight of them glanced at each other, and then, a disciple named 'Qi Yuanwu', who was standing closest to the door, walked up, took his own white cloth bag from the blue-clothed deacon's hand, and walked back.
Next, the remaining seven people, wrapped Xiao Mo, stepped forward one by one, and took the white cloth bag from the blue-clothed deacon's hand, everything was normal, and nothing bad seemed to happen, which made Xiao Mo secretly strange.
The eight of them walked back to their original places, and the blue-clothed deacon's gaze swept over their faces again, with a hint of indifference on his face, and he said, "Jiasan Academy, the ration is finished, let's go!"
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the other blue-clothed deacon behind him, as well as the white-clothed outer courtyard disciple, bowed their heads at the same time, followed him, and the three of them turned around and walked towards the door.
"That's not right!"
Xiao Mo and the other eight people thought of something, and suddenly lowered their heads, and at the same time reached out and opened the white silk pouch in their palms.
The bag is very small, the size of a normal person's palm, and the outer mouth is a thin silver thread, which opens when you pull it. Xiao Mo and the others poured out the contents and presented them in the palm of their hands, and immediately everything was clearly visible, only to see a total of a white gooseneck pill bottle and fifty pale red round iron coins.
"Little Soul Fixing Pill, Fifty Meritorious Iron Coins!"
"The school palace stipulates that the monthly resource ration issued to the disciples of the outer court should not be two bottles of small soul fixing pills and one hundred meritorious iron coins?
The white gooseneck pill bottle, which contained six pale green bean-sized pills, was round, which was the most common second-grade primary-level pill in the heart cultivation world, the Little Soul Fixing Pill, which was suitable for all kinds of free realms and was just about to practice the Soul Sending Exercise.
The so-called soul fixing is the meaning of assisting in the condensation of the soul and increasing the probability of success in the soul condensation. On top of the small Soul Fixing Pill, there are actually Soul Fixing Pills, and the Great Soul Fixing Pill, but the Soul Fixing Pill and the Great Soul Fixing Pill are much more precious than the Small Soul Fixing Pill, and the Soul Fixing Pill is a second-grade mid-level elixir, and the effect on monks is also better, but you need to spend your own merits to buy it.
And the Great Soul Setting Pill is a second-grade high-grade pill, which is several times more precious than the Soul Fixing Pill, very scarce, and expensive, generally only in the outer courtyard, some savings, and the disciples of net worth can afford to use it.
As for the meritorious iron coins, they belong to the unique things of the Supreme Taoist Palace, and the meritorious deeds earned by disciples at all levels are embodied in the form of physical currency, so that they can easily receive or purchase items.
A meritorious iron coin is equivalent to an ordinary meritorious service, and on it, there are two kinds of meritorious silver coins and meritorious gold coins. One silver coin is equivalent to one hundred ordinary merits, while one gold coin is equivalent to ten thousand ordinary merits.
Silver coins are relatively rare, but the disciples of the outer court still use them occasionally, while gold coins are relatively rare, and generally only the disciples of the inner court will use them in large sums, because they are the only ones who have enough strength to earn relatively more meritorious deeds, so they need to reduce the number of meritorious coins and choose to carry gold coins.
However, these are still far away for Xiao Mo and the others, and what makes them angry is that the resource ration that the Daoist Palace clearly stipulates that the distribution of resources to each disciple of the outer courtyard should be two bottles of Little Soul Fixing Pill per month, one hundred meritorious iron coins, how did they get here, but they have shrunk by half, and only one bottle of elixir remains, fifty meritorious iron coins!
Although the resource ration distributed by the Dao Academy Palace to each outer court disciple is not abundant, it should not be so barren, after all, six pills, one pill a day, thirty days a month, and one pill can only be taken in five days, so what effect is there?
As for the fifty meritorious iron coins, they can't buy anything, and it's better not to send them if they do.
Therefore, to the Daoxue Palace, the pills distributed to each disciple of the outer courtyard should actually be twelve, barely enough to take one pill in two days, and a hundred meritorious iron coins, although not much, can also buy some ordinary items for them to spend the first most difficult month.
And this shrinkage of more than half is tantamount to making the lives of this group of newly promoted outer court disciples difficult, and at the same time, the reduction of pills has also greatly extended the time for them to cultivate the Soul Parasitic Technique, which naturally greatly breeds their dissatisfaction.
"Stop!"
People with impatient temperaments instantly understood that it was very likely that they had encountered the legendary malicious restraint, and immediately couldn't help but shout at the three people who were about to leave at the door, and at the same time raised their palms: "Why is our resource ration wrong, it is less than half, please give me an explanation!"
"Oh he......"
Hearing the voice, the three people who had just walked to the door and were about to leave turned around together. The blue-clothed deacon at the head had a cold gaze, and quietly stared at the outer court disciple who spoke: "What did you say? Why didn't I understand, but dare to say it again?"
After speaking, his eyes condensed slightly, and a huge momentum on his body suddenly spread out, and with this momentum, everyone was shocked to see that behind their minds, a crimson spirit tiger phantom appeared, and his eyes were wide like copper bells, staring coldly at everyone in the field.
An invisible coercion enveloped the eight people in the small courtyard, and they didn't even learn the exercises, all of them were cold, only to feel that their bodies were sinking infinitely, and their bodies couldn't help it, and there was an extreme horror in their hearts.
"The furious lion soul that has been fully completed, could it be that Yan Gang Qi Technique?"
Some people couldn't help but look afraid.
