Chapter 63: Seeing Things and Thinking About Them
In a simple wooden house, Beihe Pan sits on a stone bed. At this time, he was wearing a gray robe, which was the attire of the ordinary condensation period disciples of the Ungong Mountain.
In his hand he held a blue book, and was reading it intently.
It wasn't until a long time later, when Beihe finally finished turning the last page, that he raised his head and let out a long breath.
This blue book records all the rules of the sects, large and small, in the book, which can be said to be extremely detailed.
To his surprise, the first rule of the door was that monks were not allowed to meddle in mundane affairs. This is not only a door rule, but also an iron law of the entire cultivation world. If there is a violation, it will inevitably be punished severely.
No wonder the Medicine King told him and Zhu Zilong before that they must not divulge the fact that they were mortal warriors.
In addition to this iron law, the other clauses in the Blue Book are the rules of the unfair mountain.
For example, you must not deceive your teachers and destroy your ancestors, you must not kill each other in the same sect, you must not steal the resources of the sect, and so on......
Not only are the taboos clearly written, but even the way of punishment is written in black and white. Those who violate the rules will be confined or assigned, or expelled from the division or even killed as an example.
In addition to the door rules, the Blue Book also introduces an overview of the practice of Bugong Mountain.
For example, every month, there are elders who hold a hall to teach their deeds, and ordinary disciples who have not entered the sect can go and listen.
There are also earned spirit stones, which can be exchanged for various cultivation materials in the door, such as magic weapons, talismans, pills, etc., everything.
When he saw this, Beihe realized that the elixir seemed to be more precious than the spirit stone. And I also know why when he and Zhu Zilong thanked the Medicine King yesterday and made the two of them become registered disciples, the Medicine King would be a little disdainful.
Because in the past six months, the Medicine King has given them an unknown number of pills to take, which has made them have a heavy impact on the condensation.
And after becoming a registered disciple, the spirit stone pills have to be fought for by themselves, and no one will send them in vain.
In the final analysis, in fact, monks are similar to mortals, and the monk's spirit stone is a mortal's silver tael, which is a kind of hard currency.
As for the spell that Beihe is most interested in, it is also introduced in the Little Blue Book. A new disciple can use a spirit stone to exchange for any kind of spell in the Drum Tower of the sect, but in the future, he will need an equivalent spirit stone in exchange for an equivalent spell.
But now he doesn't have a single spirit stone in his hand, and he can't exchange it. If you want to exchange it for spells, you have to wait until he starts working on tasks and gets his first payment.
After shaking his head, Bei He put down the sect manual in his hand, pinched out a strange handprint with both hands, put the back of his hand on his knees, and closed his eyes. At this time, he started the Four Elephant Gong.
As Bei He breathed in, a wave of heaven and earth aura surged from all directions, burrowed into his body, followed the veins on his back, and surged towards the position of his lower abdomen.
In this process, Beihe could clearly feel that the aura of heaven and earth had been transformed into a weak warm current, which was mana.
It's just that when these mana flow through his veins, most of them will be consumed inexplicably, and in the end, only a small half will be submerged into his dantian. Not only that, even if the residual mana is not in the dantian, it will not last long, and it will begin to dissipate.
Beihe couldn't keep these mana in the dantian for a long time. And only by storing mana in the dantian for a long time can he be regarded as a true condensation cultivator.
This is still the four elephant skills he cultivates, and the efficiency of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth is much higher than that of ordinary exercises. If he was cultivating the ordinary breathing and breathing method, maybe there would be no residual mana pouring into the dantian, and all of it would dissipate in his veins.
After running the Four Elephant Gong for several weeks, Beihe finally opened his eyes, and his face was a little ugly at this time.
Now a new door opened in front of him, but he felt a sense of powerlessness that made him not annoyed.
However, a drop of water can penetrate the stone, and he doesn't believe that he can't even reach the weight of refining qi.
Just as Beihe thought like this, he only heard a squeak, and the door of the room where he was pushed open, and a short old man with two large teeth walked in.
The old man's name is Zhou Xiangxiang, and after Feng Tianqu brought him here yesterday, he let the old man take over him, which means that from now on, Beihe will follow Zhou Xiangxiang.
If he hadn't seen a real person, Beihe would have thought that Zhou Xiangxiang must be a delicate and weak woman. After seeing myself, there was a strong contrast in my heart.
Seeing this person come in, after Beihe put the little blue book down, he hurriedly got up and bowed, "I've seen Senior Brother Zhou." ”
"Hmm. Zhou Xiangxiang nodded, "You are familiar with the sect's manual." ”
"Yes. "North River Road.
"Then from today onwards, you can do the task with me. ”
"Okay!" Bei He didn't hesitate, and even a faint excitement appeared in his heart. This is the same as when Lu Hou wanted to teach him his first kung fu, which made him fresh and curious, and he had a feeling of eagerness to try.
"Let's go. ”
After speaking, Zhou Xiangxiang walked out with her hands behind her back.
Beihe got up and straightened his shirt and followed behind the man.
When I walked out of the room, I saw that the place where he was a place similar to a courtyard house.
This place is the residence of ordinary disciples of Bugong Mountain, one room for each person, and with him in the courtyard, there are a total of four disciples of the Condensation Stage who live.
After walking out of the courtyard, I only heard Beihe ask halfway: "Dare to ask Senior Brother Zhou, what kind of position is it to deal with the waste pill." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiangxiang didn't reply, "My Medicine King Hall is an institution that specializes in refining pills in the Ungong Mountain, and Qipin Hall is a place in the Medicine King Hall that specializes in refining pills for monks in the condensation period. It's just that refining pills is a troublesome matter, and no matter how good an alchemist is, it is impossible to guarantee that every pill can be successfully baked, so naturally there will be times when refining will be wasted. It's just that the pill contains the majestic aura of heaven and earth, even if it is a waste pill, it is also the same, and there is a medicinal power that cannot be underestimated in the refining of the waste pill, so we will collect these waste pills and then do special treatment. ”
"I see," Beihe nodded, and then said, "The special treatment refers to ......"
"The common ones are refined into flower fertilizer to nourish the spiritual field. Or refine it into spiritual materials and raise spirit animals. There are even some people who specialize in purchasing waste pills, refining their medicinal powers, and using them as spirit stones to absorb. ”
Beihe knew it, he didn't expect that these wasted elixirs would have so many uses.
Soon he entered the Qipin Hall through the back door with Zhou Xiangxiang.
This time, Zhou Xiangxiang took him to the inner hall. I saw that the inner hall that presented a ring had a stone room with closed doors, and there were more than ten rooms under the count.
Like him, some of the disciples of the Unjust Mountain, dressed in gray clothes, were going in and out of this place, and they looked quite busy.
These men and women were both men and women, almost half of each other. This made Beihe frown slightly.
Those who practice martial arts hone their physical bodies. And ordinary women, the physical body cannot be compared with men at all, so among the warriors, all are men, and there are few women.
But in the present situation, the monk does not seem to have such a drawback.
Thinking about it, the monk's practice depends on whether there is a spiritual root in the body, and whether there is a spiritual root has nothing to do with gender, so it is not surprising that the ratio of monks to men and women is mixed.
But the only thing that made Beihe a little speechless was that these disciples of the Unjust Mountain were all teenagers, and there was no one of his age.
It's actually very simple, the water flows low, and the people go high. Dealing with the waste pill is a task that only the disciples who have just entered the sect will do in the Medicine King Palace, and as long as they reach a certain level of cultivation, these disciples will take on other tasks that are easier and more rewarding, and who will stay here to continue to deal with the waste pill.
At present, these boys are only one or two cultivators in the condensation period, and they can only do these most basic chores.
"You come with me first. ”
At this time, I only listened to Zhou Xiangxiang.
The man took Beihe to a separate chamber, where he removed a yellow gourd that hung on the wall of the chamber, and then removed a pot with a round belly from another wall.
"This is the Qingdan liquid and the Tianshi pot, every time the alchemy is scrapped, you use this Qingdan liquid to clean the Dan furnace, and then put the waste liquid and the residue of the waste Dan into the Tianshi pot. These two artifacts are both mid-level magic weapons, and they have the blessing of the formation inside, so the internal volume is very large, remember not to lose or break it, otherwise you can't afford to lose it if you sell it. After completing the task each day, be sure to hand in these two artifacts. ”
"Intermediate magic weapon!" Bei He's eyes froze. At the same time, I was also surprised by what Zhou Xiangxiang said that the internal volume of these two things was very large.
At this time, Zhou Xiangxiang had already come to a shelved Dan furnace in the secret room, and began to tell Bei He how to clean up the Dan furnace and how to take out the waste liquid.
After a few moments, he walked out of the secret room with Beihe.
"I will arrange you in the Dan room of an alchemy senior brother, and you kid will specially clean the Dan furnace for him. In addition, you have to be clever, the senior brothers and sisters who are alchemy here are all inner disciples, and they will give alchemy to the sect here because of the task they have received. So don't offend them, if you do something to make Lao Tzu wipe your ass, you will look good. ”
At this point, Zhou Xiangxiang's face looked indignant, as if he had encountered this kind of thing many times.
"Yes!"
Beihe didn't dare to be careless, and nodded yes.
"This task of dealing with the waste pill, do one day and rest one day, and have a reward of three spirit stones every month. In addition, you can get a free meal in the apse every morning and evening. If you want to add a meal, buy your own. At this time, I heard Zhou Xiangxiang speak.
Beihe nodded, in the past six months, he had never eaten anything, all of them relied on the pill supply given to him by the Medicine King.
Monks are different from mortals, mortals need to replenish a lot of energy to practice martial arts. And to replenish energy, you can only rely on eating.
However, as long as the monk has mana in his body, he can maintain the functioning of his body, so even if he does not eat, he can live a dragon.
Of course, for low-level monks, if they use the small amount of mana in their bodies to maintain the operation of their bodies, it will be a bit tyrannical, so they still have to eat. Using mana to practice magic is the right way.
And people like Beihe, who can't even weigh a single amount of condensation, can only starve to death if they don't eat.
Just when Beihe thought like this, suddenly there was a noise here, and I saw a girl in a long black dress, about fifteen or sixteen years old, walking from outside the main hall at this moment.
This female melon seed has a small face and a small nose, and her appearance can be called a sinking fish and a goose.
After seeing this woman, Zhou Xiangxiang's face changed, and she hurriedly trotted up, habitually showing a flattering smile, and bowed: "I've seen Senior Sister Yan." ”
"Give me a high-level Dan room. The woman turned a blind eye to Zhou Xiangxiang's flattery, but said directly.
"High-level Dan Room, some of them. Zhou Xiangxiang agreed, and then he nodded and walked in front of the woman, and took the woman to a closed Dan room, only to see him take out a token, hold it, and wave it at the closed stone door.
A black light poured on the stone door on the token, and the closed stone door opened with a rumbling sound.
Seeing this, this woman raised her feet and stepped into it, and she didn't take a second look at these ordinary disciples of the Seven Rank Hall around her from beginning to end.
"I wish Senior Sister Yan success in alchemy. Zhou Xiangxiang said aloud to the stone room, the smile on his face was extremely bright, which made his two big teeth extremely conspicuous.
After saying that, Zhou Xiangxiang turned around and looked at Beihe behind her.
It's just that at this time, Beihe looked at the girl who stepped into the Dan room and was stunned, and even a touch of shock appeared in his eyes.
Just now he saw a gray cloth bag hanging from the girl's waist.
The gray cloth bag reminded him of a black cloth bag that he couldn't break, although the two colors were different, but the shape was exactly the same.
