CHAPTER XXI
Lin Jiu turned around and slapped Chen Yao on the back of the head, he was already a head taller than Chen Yao, Chen Yao stared at Lin Jiu with fiery eyes
"What are you staring at with your bull's eyes, are you pig brains? or donkey ears? That was arranged by Senior Song, saying that you will know that it is good for you in the future, and besides, I don't care how unbearable the dwarf pillar peak is in your eyes, your sister also said that it is rumor, you talk about it and see if I don't beat you" Lin Jiu's lesson made Chen Yao speechless.
At this time, Lin Jiu, who was full of swearing, was like a little scoundrel in the market, he came out of the Khanate and had been walking in the world for several years, although he walked more inaccessible places along the way, but there were always market towns and some cities to go, he had been sold and deceived and bullied by bad people, and he lacked the discipline of his elders, so he learned the habit of a scoundrel. Which is still the immature child in the deep mountains, this young man Chen Yao, who has never been far away, is not comparable to him.
"Hmph, I can't talk about you, but I will definitely find it back in the future when you hurt my sister. ”
Lin Jiu turned around and slapped Chen Yao's head again. "You are really a pig brain, Senior Song said that I can't control the dragon soul, it's your sister who has to provoke him, what can I do?"
"You...... You bully people" Chen Yao actually wanted to cry.
"Yo yo yo, I'm really not ashamed, such a big person still cries his nose," Lin Jiu said with a sneer
"Hmph" Chen Yao was angry, and walked a few steps quickly, not wanting to walk with Lin Jiu.
"Alas, you wait for me, you tell me what happened to that dwarf pillar peak, why do you dislike it so much"
Chen Yao deliberately didn't speak, just walked forward angrily.
"Good brother, tell me about it"
"Phew, who's a brother with you"
"In the future, we will be senior brothers, it's a big deal that I will call you senior brother now, and I will definitely be ranked according to age when I go back, and you will call me senior brother again"
"Fart, I'm older than you, I'm definitely a senior brother"
"Then, Senior Brother Chen, tell me about the situation of Dwarf Pillar Peak."
"You, what little brother, don't say it"
"Okay, big brother, let's talk about it"
"Don't be honest and don't say it"
"What the fuck you," Lin Jiu said and raised his hand again
Chen Yao stomped his foot angrily, turned his head, and walked forward, "It's almost a cultivator, and he scolds when he opens his mouth." ”
"Nonsense, that rule says that cultivators can't scold people"
Chen Yao turned his head and glanced at him with disdain, "Rough man, you know a fart"
"Who do you say is a rough person, see if I don't kill you" Lin Jiu said and chased after Chen Yao, Chen Yao hurriedly ran forward as soon as he saw him chasing after him. I didn't see it clearly in a hurry, and I bumped into a person's arms.
"What kind of system is such a playful chase in the land of pure cultivation?"
Chen Yao was so frightened by this sentence that he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to move.
"Li Jinliang, why are you here, worshipping the Hundred Mountains Sect?" Lin Jiu ran a few steps quickly, and he had just seen Li Jinliang coming out of the woods on the side of the road.
"Lin Jiu, why are you here, aren't you not coming?" Li Jinliang looked extremely happy when he saw that it was Lin Jiu.
"I really can't forget you, so I came to you. ”
"Don't talk about it, I don't believe it. ”
"Do you two know each other?" Chen Yao asked in a low voice
As soon as Li Jinliang wanted to explain to Chen Yao, Lin Jiu interjected the most "adults talk, children don't interject"
"You...... You're a child. Chen Yao was anxious and wanted to cry again.
"Alas, come on, you, why are you like a little girl, crying at every turn" Lin Jiu said impatiently, and gave Chen Yao a gentle kick on the buttocks.
"Say, why are you here" Li Jinliang pulled Lin Jiu.
"Nuo, it's not his sister yet, so I suspect that I am a spy of the dragon clan, so I called a bunch of backers to bring me and him, saying that I was going to Dwarf Pillar Peak to cultivate. ”
"What, Dwarf Pillar Peak? Hahaha, what do you think" Li Jinliang laughed when he heard it.
"Damn, what's wrong with this dwarf pillar peak?
"Pig farmer, you know now, right?" Chen Yao said angrily.
"What? Pig farmer? I said why don't you want to go?"
"You were really assigned to the Pillar Peak?" Li Jinliang was still a little skeptical
"Nonsense, can I deceive you with this? Anyway, you just taught this Yao sister, what kind of disciple are you, which peak?" Lin Jiu asked curiously
"You are Sister Yao," Chen Yao stepped on Lin Jiu's kick fiercely.
Lin Jiu smiled and waved his hand, he didn't mind, the young people were familiar with each other.
"I'm now a deacon disciple of the outer gate, only temporarily, because there are a lot of people who come to apprentice this year, and I have martial arts, so I was temporarily requisitioned by the outer gate to maintain the order of the newcomer's house, do you see a few rooms on the other side of the forest?
"His name is Chen Yao, and his sister is from Xiaoyaofeng, a relational household, you can call him Sister Yao. Lin Jiu said with a smile.
"Dead Lin Jiu, if you call me Sister Yao again, I'll turn my face with you" Chen Yao was very unconvinced
"I've met Brother Chen, Li Jinliang is very happy to meet you," Li Jinliang greeted Chen Yao
"Don't dare, I've seen Brother Jin Liang, the younger brother's name is Chen Yao, the three soil Yao" Chen Yao quickly replied politely, "My sister is a disciple of Xiaoyao Peak, and my brother-in-law is the eldest disciple of Xiaoyao Peak." ”
"Look, this will give you a bright backer. Hmph, my master is still Song Ancestor," Lin Jiu said unconvinced
"Phew, temporarily" Chen Yao was very unconvinced
"The white-clothed dragon immortal is your master?" Li Jinliang gasped
"White-clothed Dragon Immortal?"
According to legend, his mount is a dragon, always dressed in white, so he is called the white-clothed dragon immortal. ”
"I see, but I saw him for the first time today, but I didn't see him riding any dragons."
"My God, since your master is a white-clothed dragon immortal, why did he let you go to Dwarf Pillar Peak?"
"That's a long story, I'll talk to you about it slowly. The two of us are going to the main hall in a hurry, and when we turn around and wait for you to worship the master, we will go to you again. ”
"Okay, stop chasing and fighting, it's time to punish you when you are seen by the patrol disciples"
"Okay, let's go first, let's go, Sister Yao" Lin Jiu walked forward
Chen Yao glared at him and followed closely behind him.
The two of them turned a hill along the road and entered the large valley where the main courtyard was located, with high mountains on both sides and a large square at the entrance.
There are a few young people in gray cloth robes who are cleaning, and it is not unusual for the arrival of these two people, after the square is a small hall, from the road on both sides to the back, there is a long staircase, leading to a red hall halfway up the mountain, the two of them walked up the stairs step by step, everywhere was silent, revealing solemnity, the two did not speak, and Lin Jiu did not dare to tease Chen Yao again.
Finally, the two of them walked up the stairs, tired and sweating, and stood in front of the door of the main hall.
"Why did you come so slowly," a deep male voice came from the hall.
The two were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked into the main hall, the ground was a large black stone slab, polished smooth and bright, two rows of chairs were placed on both sides, there was a tablet in the center, there was a long case below, three chairs were placed in front, and on the chair on the left-hand side, there was an old man with gray hair, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
A spiritual sense swept towards the two of them, "Why did you come so slowly?"
"Back to the seniors, the juniors met the old people on the way here, so they chatted a few words and forgave the seniors. Lin Jiu hurriedly said
"Well, even if this is the case, it should be, the situation of the two of you has been told me simply, the two of you are now considered disciples of the inner gate, this is not very appropriate, but the old man arranged it by the old man, and he only had to make an exception once, but after you go to the Dwarf Pillar Peak, you have to concentrate on cultivation with Senior Brother Qi, you can't be lazy, if you can't control the qi, you will still be demoted to an outer disciple, or a miscellaneous disciple, can you understand?"
"Understood" "Understood"
"Well, later I will ask Mingxin to take the two of you to the deacon's room to get your inner disciple's waist card and some daily necessities for beginner disciples, Mingxin will also give you the disciple rules of the precept room, and then give you a brief introduction to the rules in the door, if you don't know anything, you can ask him, and finally he will send you back to the Dwarf Pillar Peak and hand you over to Senior Brother Qi, that is, your future master, Mingxin, you can take the two of them now."
A young man in a green shirt walked in outside the door and bowed down and said, "I know, Master, two junior brothers, please come with me." ”
Lin Jiu and Chen Yao said goodbye, and the old man in the main hall of the middle peak turned around and walked out with the young man in green shirts.
Out of the temple gate, the young man named Mingxin took out a folding fan and recited a few words of mantra, the folding fan slowly became longer and longer in his hand, and finally became a zhang long and two feet wide and hung in the air, Mingxin gently jumped on the folding fan, "You two come up, the deacon's room is far away from more than a dozen mountains here." ”
The folding fan was not high above the ground, it was only four or five feet high, Lin Jiu jumped up and just got up, Mingxin smiled slightly, and lowered the height of the folding fan a lot, Lin Jiu slowly stood up, and stretched out his hand to pull Chen Yao up.
"Stand firm" After Mingxin finished speaking, the folding fan flew out with a swish, Lin Jiu and Chen Yao hurriedly supported each other, and it took a while to stabilize their bodies, fortunately, the folding fan did not fly very fast, Mingxin knew that they were not cultivators, and they did not have the mana to release the shield to resist the wind in flight, so they slowed down again, and only flew a few zhang high, and there were relatively high attics and houses that also went around.
"The valley where this inner gate is located, if you are not a disciple on duty that day, you can't fly, even if you fly, you can't fly so low, but today is special, you two haven't cultivated yet, in order to take care of you two, I deliberately flew a little lower."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Mingxin," Lin Jiu hurriedly said
Mingxin turned his head to look at him and nodded, "This Baishan Sect has not directly accepted inner disciples who have not cultivated for a long time, you two are the ancestors of Kai'en, you must cultivate well, this beginner disciple must be unified to learn the introductory exercises in the outer gate first, unless it is a new beginner disciple with a spiritual root, you can enter the inner gate directly." Mingxin looked at the two of them with a smile again, which obviously means that the two of you are not people with spiritual roots, and you really enjoy the exception.
"When you are successful in cultivating in the outer gate, you can be selected as a disciple of the inner gate, and enter the peaks to cultivate with the peak master, although you have not taken this step, but you still have to say that you know, there is also a person who brings art to the master, and those who cultivate to the bottleneck period will also be picked by the peak masters, if no one picks them, they will be assigned to a certain peak by the head of the duty patrol of the year. Mingxin slowly explained to the two, "We have two heads of the Hundred Mountains Sect, one is Master Wuxin, he is the head of the Hundred Mountains Sect, and the other is that every year there will be a peak master who stops cultivating and comes down the mountain to the main hall of the middle peak to be the head of the patrol and deal with the complicated and trivial matters in the entire sect, so sometimes it is necessary to distinguish clearly."
"I'll keep it in my heart," Lin Jiu hurriedly said as soon as he saw that Mingxin was looking at him, and Mingxin looked at Chen Yao again, "I will also remember the senior brother." ”
"There are eighteen peak masters in the same realm as our Baishan Sect and my master, that is, the monks of the Yudan period, who live on the seventeen main peaks in the mountain gate, only Uncle Qiao of the Dwarf Pillar Peak is in the Yudan period, but not on the main peak of the inner gate, and the others are all uncles and uncles in the foundation building period, and several brothers live on the same mountain peak, in addition, our Baishan Sect has a rule since the establishment of the sect, no matter how high the cultivation of the latecomers is, they were masters before, and they will always be masters. The seniority can't be messed up, although there are many apprentices in the monk world outside who are higher than the master's cultivation and don't recognize the master, but after all, that is the outside world, and in the Baishan Sect is such a rule, although you two are not leading art investment teachers, but it must also be said that the two of you know. ”
"A teacher for one day and a teacher for life" Lin Jiu said solemnly, and Chen Yao also nodded solemnly.
"You two have to remember what you said today, the other door rules, most of them are the same door can not bully, no fighting, no stealing, no going down the mountain without permission, etc., later in the precept room to get the door rules manual, you two go back to the peak and then carefully remember in your heart. We cultivators must put our cultivation and strengthening ourselves in the first place, so there are really mean and good people in the door, you just hide, cultivate hard, when you are stronger than him, he will no longer bully you, of course, you two must not be the bullies, okay, the deacon's room has arrived, you go down with me"
Mingxin lowered the folding fan, first floated down from above, Lin Jiu and Chen Yao also hurriedly got down from the folding fan, Mingxin waved his right hand, the folding fan slowly became smaller, and he received it in the sleeve, this place is on the periphery of the valley, the mountain is not high, but it looks particularly beautiful, there is a small platform halfway up the mountain, you can see the beautiful scenery of the valley in the distance, on both sides of the platform are two stairs up and down the mountain, there are more than a dozen people coming and going, seeing Mingxin who comes from the royal fan, they will stop and bow and salute, and Mingxin also nods with a smile.
"Most of these are outer disciples, there are also inner disciples, but the cultivation is not high, the deacon's room is also in charge of the logistics and miscellaneous affairs of the Baishan Sect, or the place where the outer disciples are assigned tasks, the Baishan Sect handles things, most of them are the Transmission Pavilion to receive the news, the outer door will not use the transmission note to personally go to the Transmission Pavilion to report, and then the elder in charge of the door will go to the deacon's room after replying, and then the outer disciples are coming here to get the approval and the tasks assigned, and the inner disciples also come here to receive the cultivation pills given by the sect every month, or the tools, clothes or daily necessities for their own labor, you two will come here to receive them if you need them in the future, who don't know how to resist qi and don't have flying spirit weapons, walk on foot and go up the mountain. ”
When the two of them heard this, they turned their heads to look at the road down the mountain, and they both swallowed.
Mingxin smiled slightly and led the two into the deacon's room, there is only one hall here, inside is a large square counter, there are five disciples standing on each side, the things of the outer disciples are on the left, and the things of the inner disciples are on the right, Mingxin led them around to the side of the inside, walked to the front of an inner disciple, and greeted the people inside through the counter, "There is Senior Brother Lao, I will send two new disciples to receive waist cards and clothes"
There was an old man with white hair sitting at the counter, who was reading a book without a cover, and when he heard Mingxin speak, he put down the book in his hand, "Oh, it's Mingxin, this year you and Uncle Wuming are on duty?"
"Yes, I don't know if Uncle Tianyu is okay lately?"
"I've been on this rotation for a month, and I haven't returned to Xiaoyao Peak, but before I came, Master had already retreated, saying that I was going to impact the late stage, and I hope that after I finished my rotation and returned to the peak, I could hear the good news of Master's achievements in the later stage of the Yudan. ”
"Uncle Tianyu has always been calm and famous, and I think it's a matter of nine out of ten. At that time, Mingxin will go to the master to say goodbye, and listen to some cultivation experience, and I am looking forward to it."
"Yes, I'm also looking forward to it, maybe Master's experience during this breakthrough is that after listening to me, I can also break through. Otherwise, there won't be much time for old decay. ”
"Senior brother, it's been many years since you built the foundation for many years, right?"
"Alas, who says it's not, if the old man had such a bright qualification as a junior disciple, he wouldn't have stayed at such an old age and couldn't take a step forward in the early stage of the Great Perfection."
"Senior brother said that he laughed, where is Mingxin smart, it's just luck"
"Forget it, which peak are these two junior disciples from?"
"Senior brother, we ..... The two of us are from the Dwarf Pillar Peak," Lin Jiu replied first, but there was a hint of reluctance.
"Dwarf Zhufeng, did you hear any rumors?" said the old man at the counter with a smile.
Lin Jiu looked at Mingxin, and he didn't want to lie, so he nodded
"Then do you know what Dwarf Pillar Peak does?"
Lin Jiu didn't want to say anything, but Mingxin and the senior brother at the counter didn't speak, Chen Yao was anxious, and said, "Isn't it just a pig raiser? That's also one of the eighteen peaks." ”
"Yes, what's the name of this junior brother?" asked the old man at the counter
"My name is Chen Yao, three soil Yao"
"Although the dwarf pillar peak is the place where the inner disciples eat, but do you know, in fact, most of the disciples of the inner gate such as me are disciples above the imperial qi, and they have eaten very little, and even most of the disciples and all the uncles, the masters and uncles have been Bigu for many years, and some of them have been in retreat for several years, more than ten years, and decades, so the inner disciples don't eat much, but they eat specially, so there are dwarf pillar peaks that are personally planted and cultivated, and the dwarf pillar peak is actually in the inner and outer gates, except for a few peaks where the elders of the senior uncles and ancestors stayed, the place with the strongest aura, you two don't listen to the nonsense that the outer disciples don't understand, you two should be good at cultivating, don't be like senior brother me, at this age, it is still the early stage of foundation building. "This old man may have been here lately and no one has spoken, so he has said so much.
"We know the senior brother," the two of them hurriedly bowed and thanked them
"Okay, give you two waist cards" As he spoke, he took out two jade cards from the cabinet, about an inch in size, flat on both sides, and there was no pattern at all, the old man squared the jade cards on the counter, looked up and asked Lin Jiu, "What is your name this little junior brother?"
"Senior Brother Hui, my name is Lin Jiu, the number nine"
The old man's right hand stretched out his index finger, and the fingertips came out of white light, volleying against the jade plate, writing and drawing, only to see the two jade cards slowly rising white light, after the old man finished writing, he flashed two times and returned to his original appearance, and the old man handed the two jade cards to them separately.
"Hang it around your waist and carry it with you at all times, and inside are your names, the day you received the license and the mountain you belong to, and your appearance. When you meet a disciple who is patrolling the inner gate, you can show them the waist card. ”
The two hurriedly took the jade plate and hung it around their waists, both of them were novel, but no matter how you look at it, the jade card is no different from an ordinary jade pendant.
The old man may have seen the doubts of the two, "When you two have spiritual sense, you can see the jade card by sweeping it, and this is a package for the two of you." The old man said and took out two packages from the cabinet, "Here are some daily necessities, and a robe, which is the color of your low pillar peak, when you will wear it in the future, your master will tell you, of course, you can also wear it every day." ”
"Senior Brother Xie. ”
Mingxin waited for the two of them to put away the package and said, "Okay, I still have to go to the precept room, so I won't bother the senior brother here, I'll take them away first." ”
"Okay, go, you can go to Xiaoyao Peak to find me when you have time in the future, my name is Chu Qingzhao" The old man said to Chen Yao and Lin Jiu.
The three of them went out of the deacon's room and flew to the north of the mountain, after two hills, Mingxin dropped the fan and stopped at the foot of a mountain, a forest of tall trees, Mingxin led the two of them in, and saw only a small house in the depths of the woods, not so much a house as a pavilion with a three-sided fence, and walked in front and saw a tall and thin old man sitting inside, and the height of the sitting was about to catch up with Chen Yao's height.
"Senior Brother Zhang came down from the mountain, it seems that he is about to return to the peak," Mingxin said in a deep voice.
The tall and thin old man who was sitting still had his eyes closed, and snorted coldly, "It's still early, Senior Brother Mingxin doesn't seem to want me to return to the peak so early."
"You should repent here if you broke the door rules, and you can sit down from the mountain of repentance behind you to this precept room, isn't it just that the deadline is coming?"
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, why are you here?"
"Bring two new juniors to receive two door rules"
"Hmph, unfortunately, the day before yesterday, an outer disciple came here and took away the dozens of copies I had recently copied, and now there is only one copy, so I want two copies to come back tomorrow, and I have already copied them today. ”
Mingxin frowned, as if he didn't want to argue too much with this person, "One is one."
The old man surnamed Zhang reached out and took a thin manual from the cushion next to him, threw the manual in front of him and flew out smoothly, and when he passed three feet in front of the room, a white light suddenly flashed, and a large light curtain appeared in front of the three people, this light curtain as a whole was like an inverted bowl buckled the pavilion and the hill behind the pavilion, and the manual flew to Ming Xin through the prohibition, Ming Xin reached out to catch it, and handed it to Lin Jiu, "Go back and let Senior Brother Chen copy a copy"
After Mingxin finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, and did not say hello to the old man surnamed Zhang, the thin and tall old man never opened his eyes, and waited until the three of them left, and then opened his eyes with a hint of a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the path where the three people left.
